Return of the Bragging Rights

 Last night I had Danish pastry for dessert. I think it was the middle of December when I made a batch of dough. Per usual one half the batch I deposited in my freezer. The other half met its match in an encounter with some cream cheese and the dregs of a jar of sour cherries.
Ten days ago I lost some dreadful employment and gained some welcome free time. The job was a big disappointment, its loss a big relief. With no looking back I retreated to my kitchen and made a batch of puff pastry to celebrate.
The puff pastry out of the way, the inevitable question arises. What to bake next? I've been poring over recipes, but every time I open my freezer I see the stack of puff pastry, and right next to it the half batch of Danish pastry.  So I decided in the spirit of spring cleaning I needed to do the culinary equivalent. This version is blueberry. And rises all the way to the taste of the cherry version.
