Sweet, sour and juicy, wherever you encounter them, pickled blueberries almost always feel like a surprise. That goes double for pizza, where most people aren’t used to seeing berries at all (you know, that whole fruit-on-pizza thing). But you can pickle almost anything, and when seeking inspiration for garnishes, few things say “summer” more than blueberries and pickling the season’s bounty. Pickled blueberries are an excellent pairing on cheese boards and have been celebrated for their use on sandwiches and pizza. (They’re a recurring pizza topping on the menu at well-regarded pizzeria Talula’s in Asbury Park, New Jersey.)
This easy-to-make garnish only requires a few minutes on the stove and a bit of forethought, but we find they’re best after 48 hours in the fridge, so you’ll want to plan ahead. We like them on our Pickled Blueberry and Camembert pizza, but their uses are practically infinite: They’re delicious as a salad topper, in a grilled cheese sandwich, served with smoked turkey, dropped into muffin batter, or for dressing vanilla ice cream for dessert.

We prefer Meyer lemon for its wonderful, complex fragrance, but you can use regular lemons or the peel of your favorite citrus. These pickled blueberries can be applied as a pre- or post-bake garnish. If you prefer a slightly firmer texture, apply them post-bake.
