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.
Beautiful!
