Buona domenica a tutti,

This week, we’re bringing a New World ingredient to Old World traditions with three recipes made using fresh blueberries: gelato, sorbetto, and liqueur.

These recipes, deeply rooted in Sicilian culinary heritage, are typically prepared with fruits like peaches, strawberries, or pineapples.

But what happens when blueberries take their place?

Blueberries, native to North America, add a unique flavor and vibrant color to these classic desserts.

The creamy gelato, the light and refreshing sorbetto, and the rich liqueur all take on a new dimension while staying true to the techniques and traditions of Sicilian cuisine.

These recipes highlight how a single ingredient can bring a fresh perspective to time-honored methods.

From crafting a smooth Italian meringue to the patient infusion process behind the liqueur, each step in these recipes reflects the balance of simplicity and care that defines Sicilian cooking.

Curious to see how blueberries transform these classics?

​Watch the video to explore the process and discover the finished results.

Buon appetito,
