God's Strength Be With You
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles.Isaiah 10:31
Blueberry Smoothie

Ingredients
2 cups blueberries
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Shortbread or wafer cookies, for serving

Directions
Make the blueberry sauce:
Heat 1 1/2 cups blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar and the salt in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling.
Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries are soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the lemon zest and juice; remove from the heat.
Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Beat the heavy cream in a bowl with a mixer or whisk until soft peaks just begin to form.
Beat in the vanilla and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
Gently fold all but 1/3 cup of the blueberry sauce into the whipped cream.
Divide among glasses and top with the remaining blueberry sauce. Serve with cookies. wink
