Sigh... I don't know how this happened. I'm usually pretty good about remembering to take pictures of final products, but somehow this time it completely slipped my mind. They were really tasty, though, so I felt like sharing the pictures anyway, however incomplete the story may be...
There is a story behind these blueberry pop tarts, by the way, and the story goes something like this.
Sara walked into her favorite natural grocery store, which starts with a "W" and ends with "oods", and discovered that organic blueberries were $1.99 per pint, one day only. So pleased with this fortuitous discovery, Sara placed two boxes in her basket.
She then proceeded to pick up a few other items -- celery, baby carrots, tofu -- but she couldn't shake the nagging sense that she had bypassed a real gem of an opportunity. She went back and picked up another box of blueberries. Now, to the butcher for some bone-in chicken breasts!
Ah, but the berries called her again. After all, Sara had been known to eat a whole pint of blues in one sitting, so there was simply no way that three boxes would suffice. Two more, into the fray.
And that, my dear friends, is how I ended up with five pints of blueberries. You can't possibly imagine my delight. I even went so far as to text Dad to tell him about my great steal -- he went to WF the same day, up in Northern California, and bought three boxes for himself. Like father, like daughter.
Now, if I'm being perfectly honest (which I always am on this blog), I ate 3.5 of the boxes straight up. But I saved some for these pop tarts, because blueberry pie is my #1 all-time favorite, and these are just like handheld pies. I've detailed the pop tarts recipe at length on this blog, so I won't go into that, but suffice it to say that blueberries + sugar + lemon zest + pastry = the pinnacle of happiness.
