I just bought a dried blueberry,cherry,cranberry mix-what to make?
Blueberry is the predominant flavor is in this mix with the cherry and cranberry providing great undertones. I like this mix because the blueberry flavor was so pronounced.
I'm overwhelmed with thoughts-which way to go: a rich, sweet brioche? Whole grain fruited bread with nuts or seeds? Lemon? Cardamom and cinnamon? Sourdough?
I need ideas? What would you like to taste these lovely berries in?

of hot beverage to go with them. :)
Seriously? Make Floyds Sweet Potato Rolls and work the berries into the dough before the bulk rise. I've got a batch going right now and I'm thinking about adding some orange peel into the dough and then I thought about your berries. The yellow dough (I'm using squash) and the deep colored berries might make a beautiful roll. Your dried berries would get steamed inside the sweet dough. Want the metric version I just calculated? I will post (link) on Floyds Recipe (Sweet Potato Rolls) and include the bake and pictures later.
I forgot what a mess frozen berries make when they thaw out, my kitchen looked like nightmare on elm blueberry street and my hands were dripping purple by the time I got my rolls into the pan. Thank goodness I had some lemon juice for cleaning up! What a mess!
Sound like they'd be great in a scone recipe!
Try the sourdough blueberry bagel recipe from wild yeast.

I have made them with blueberries and with cranberries. My only change is to make them bigger, 8 instead of 12. I had never made bagels before and these were pretty easy and taste great.

... a very low sugar muffin so the fruit flavors can come through.
I might have to try more than 1 idea! They all sound delicious.
