There is over an acre long of big, beautiful blueberry bushes with millions of ripe, delicious berries on them just waiting to be picked. So, Will and I grabbed some buckets and went to town pickin'.
We picked....
My favorite thing was to come across a cluster like these and they would just fall right into your hands when touched. They were like grapes!
Did I mention how hot it was though? Well, it was. But that was part of the fun and that sure didn't stop us from getting our blueberry pickin' fix.
We had the best time!
We picked over 4 gallons of beautiful blueberries!
Once we got back to Will's parents' house, we spread all of the blueberries out on a beach towel to sort through the bad {not so firm} ones.
Do any of you have any other ideas or recipes that call for blueberries?! I'm definitely needing some!
Oh Haley those look DELICIOUS! You're gonna have a blast baking with those... I just thought of a really good Barefoot Contessa dessert- freeze the blueberries and some raspberries on a sheet tray in the freezer and melt some white chocolate over a double broiler. Pour some of the melted chocolate on a plate and put the berries on top... it's fabulous! Oh, and you may have been sweating but you win the "Cutest Blueberry Picker" award!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sweet Jill! We had a fun time, and I am really excited about trying this yummy recipe! Anything with white chocolate is amazing. If you think of anymore recipes, send them this way :)
