"Straight from The Maine Wild Blueberry Cookbook, I love this shortcake and serve it often. I have been known to serve a scoop or two of ice cream on top of the shortcake, and then add lots of sauce and whipped cream on top. (I often double the sauce to have plenty at serving time). It makes a great dessert anytime!"

Oh yes, have to have this one at least once a summer. So delicious! I put ice cream and then berries to add another dimension!

I made this from blueberries we picked, and it was so delicious with the fresh berries. I too made mine with French Vanilla ice cream which makes it even better! Another new favorite of ours.

I bought an abundance of blueberries when they were on sale and used the last of them to make this. It's delicious shortcake and we loved it! I took your advice and doubled the blueberry sauce. Bravo for suggesting it!
