Blueberry Gelatin Dessert image

This recipe came about because I love blueberries,of course; but because I picked so dang many of these Michigan beauties- when I got to the bushes - there were so many- I just kept picking and picking and before I knew it I had 4 lugs of berries. I made pies for the freezer,I made jam , cobbler, buckle,coffee cake and muffins...
