• confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in extracts. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Fold in blueberries. Spoon into two greased and waxed paper-lined 9x5 loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Blueberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup cranberry juice concentrate

Directions

In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cranberry juice concentrate until smooth. Add the blueberries. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve the sauce warm or cold with the pound cake.

Note: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to batter.
