Many Polish grandmothers have their own family recipe, passed down from one generation to the next.

This traditional recipe uses a soft hot-water dough that is easy to roll, easy to seal, and tender after cooking. Fresh blueberries are wonderful when they are in season, but frozen blueberries work just as well, so you can enjoy this classic Polish recipe all year long.Desserts

Pierogi z Jagodami (pronounced pyeh-ROH-ghee z yah-goh-DAH-mee) are traditional Polish sweet pierogi filled with blueberries. In Poland, the word jagody usually means small wild forest bilberries. These berries are smaller and darker than the cultivated blueberries that are common in North America. If you cannot find wild bilberries, regular fresh or frozen blueberries make an excellent substitute.Cooking & Recipes

Blueberry pierogi are one of the most popular summer dishes in Polish cuisine. They are usually served warm with sweetened sour cream, vanilla yogurt, or a little melted butter and sugar. While many people outside Poland think they are a dessert, they are often enjoyed as a full lunch or dinner during blueberry season.

Both fresh and frozen blueberries work well in this recipe. Fresh blueberries have the brightest flavor during summer, but frozen blueberries make it easy to prepare these pierogi any time of year.

If you use fresh blueberries, rinse them gently and dry them well with paper towels before mixing them with the sugar and flour. Too much water can make the filling runny.Gotowanie i przepisy

If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first. Add them straight from the freezer. This helps keep the filling thick and prevents too much juice from leaking into the dough while you shape the pierogi.

The small amount of flour mixed with the berries helps thicken the juices as the pierogi cook. This keeps the filling soft, juicy, and much less likely to burst during boiling.

Key Ingredients & Substitutions
All-purpose flour: 2½ cups (315 g) – This is the base of the dough and gives the pierogi their soft but sturdy texture. Sift the flour before mixing for the smoothest dough. Regular all-purpose flour works best for this traditional recipe.

Salt: 1 pinch – A small pinch of salt brings out the flavor of the dough and balances the sweetness of the filling.

Boiling water: ¾ cup (180 ml) – Hot water helps create a soft, flexible dough that is easy to roll and shape. Make sure the water is boiling when you mix it with the butter.Eastern European Cuisine

Butter: 2 tablespoons – Butter adds richness and helps make the dough tender. You can replace it with dairy-free butter if needed.
