SO HOW'D IT GO?
Wow! This is the weirdest thing I have ever made! I wasn't sure whether to put the blueberries in after or before cooking, so I put them in while cooking. I personally didn't like it much, but every single person I served it to thought it was DELICIOUS!
Some preferred it chilled, some hot, one friend even froze it, crushed it up, and ate it like a snow-cone! So this must be an excellent, versatile recipe; I highly recommend trying it. One described it as, "Like eating poupourri, but in a really good way!"
