Blueberries

I headed out early this morning to pick blueberries.  No, we haven't added blueberry bushes to our "farm".....yet!  I picked at a local farm with a huge patch.  About an hour and a half and $15.89 later, I had 9lbs of berries!

Gotta love this color!

I headed home to escape the sun and heat.  I froze three cookie trays full of berries for later use in baked goods and smoothies.  My afternoon project was a batch of jam.  I love the pinging sounds as the jars seal.  Such a great way to preserve and enjoy food :)


While picking, I decided we need to plant a few bushes in our yard.  I would love to be able to pick fresh each morning for cereal or other treats.  Justin and I had talked about it last year but never figured out where we wanted to put the blueberries.  Now that we have a designated "orchard" in the yard, I am thinking that would be a great place to consider.
