Our recipe for Blueberry Squares is one my mom would make anytime of the week, using fresh or frozen blueberries.

Blueberries are available to pick starting in July up to November if the frost don't get them. But they are still lovely to freeze and use in a number of tasty recipe...Much like this one for blueberry squares.
These blueberries where freshly picked last fall here in Newfoundland Labrador, the blueberries are so tasty and full of sweet juices.

Toss into bowl with the other ingredient's to continue mixing.
Grease a square pan with butter or oil and scoop the batter in to the pan.
After the cake base is baked for 20 minutes remove from oven and add the fresh or frozen blueberries...Top with meringue and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.

I can remember when I was a young girl, my mom would make blueberry recipes much like this one from a few simple ingredient’s she would call rough grub…
Preheat your oven to 350ºF and bake the meringue for around 20 minutes or less.
Please take a few minutes to watch our short video tutorial before making our recipe to see the step by step method to make yours today!!
Use more blueberries if you wish and I’m sure you can use another berry of choice if you don’t have access to blueberries.
Serving it with a thick cream or whipped cream is optional…they don’t really need anything only a nice cup of tea!!

Gosh, Bonita and Raymond, this dessert looks so good no one else is going to get any! It’s all mine! Not all at once of course. I can tell myself, oh sure. I have a frozen combination of blueberries, strawberries and cherries that would be delicious too! Thank you! Marion in Oregon.
I needed to be cheered up today and this recipe and YouTube did just that!
These were delicious! I was wondering if I use Partridge Berries would I have to add sugar to them, how much & how would you incorporate it!
Good Morning Dorothy and thank you for stopping by. This is a lovely recipe. For sure you can use partridgeberries but what I would do because it’s so tart. I would make a jam from the berries and add the same sugar you would for making jam. I do have a recipe coming this Sunday for making partridgeberry jam. Then after let about a cup or two come to room temp then spread over the baked cake part and and then continue on with the meringue and bake to brown off the top. I hope this helps and enjoy to the fullest!! Bonita
