I know I canned some strawberry lemonade concentrate and that is amazing no doubt esp since it has sat and all the flavors have blended nicely together.. but I wanted to make something fresh for by the pool. You Will Need: 3 Cups Lemon Juice, fresh 1 Container Berries, cut Puree: 2 Cups Berries 2 tbsp Sugar 1/2 Cup Water -Blend together until smooth Simple Syrup: 2 Cups Water 2 Cups Sugar -Bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved 4 Cups Cold Water
Bagels never last in our home so it is no surprise that I have to make them often. While making a batch of my plain bagels, I decided to experiment with adding a little lemon and a blueberry puree and see how it turns out. By golly miss molly! It was amazing!!! I cannot express or explain how amazing these are. So, just give them a try and let me know what you think on facebook or here. They will knock your socks off!!
You Will Need:
1 Pint Blueberries
2 tbsp Lemon, juiced
1 pk Yeast
1 tsp Salt
5 1/2 Cups Bread Flour
2/3 Cups Water
1/4 Cup Sugar
Place water, lemon juice, and blueberries in a blender; blender until puree is smooth
Done
(see my notes hehe) Place all dry ingredients into a stand mixer
Add the puree and continue to mix
You may need a little more water, add 1 tbsp at a time; until the dough forms a ball. Continue mixing on setting 2 for 10 minutes
Place in a greased bowl
Cover and rise for 40 minutes in a warm area
Cut the dough
Weigh out 3 oz balls (this is for mini bagels)
Roll into the ball and place on a cookie sheet, rise for 20 minutes covered with a damp towel
Once done rising, place a pointer finger in the middle and spin until a big enough whole
They will not look perfect, but honestly who cares! My kids helped so they look 'goofy' (allow these to rest until water boils)
Boil water in a pot with with 6 tbsp of organic raw honey
Add four to five bagels at a time, gently
Boil for 1 minute per side
Drain and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Cool completely before eating
