Come on, Blueberry Popsicle Day? Really? I guess if you're going to have a whole set aside for a food, it's cool that it's a rather specific, different food. Makes it more special somehow.

I don't think I've ever had a blueberry popsicle. I've had grape, orange, cherry, raspberry, banana, watermelon, root beer, and many other flavors, but I don't think I've ever come across a blueberry flavored popsicle.

Here's a recipe for Blueberry and Vanilla Parfait Pops. Not a pure blueberry popsicle because it includes frozen yogurt, but it's close enough. Here's one for Blueberry-Peach Tequila Popsicles. And if you'd like to find out more about blueberries in general, check out the U.S. Blueberry Council.
