This cornbread is not as dense as some, and gets moisture and sweetness from the blueberries

    This reminds me of a recipe I’ve been looking for, for a very long time! Disney’s Contemporary Resort served a lemony cornbread as a dessert and it was fabulous. I’m thinking your blueberry version may be even better! I’ve got blueberries in the refrigerator right now!
