The folks who rent the bees for pollination asked if we would like to come pick some blueberries in one of their fields. Would we? Oh yes! I love to pick berries. Hubby came to help and we filled two large bowls in about a half hour. These are not the large, highbush berries: these are the native wild blueberries full of antioxidants, for which Cumberland County is famous. And are they tasty!
Since hubby helped pick, he will be rewarded with a pie...and maybe some blueberry grunt. The sons will have theirs in smoothies but my favourite way is simply in a bowl with a little milk. Umm, umm.
Yummy, blueberry pie! Funny to think of bees being rented out, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOh yummmmy! I can hardly wait.. our Sat.a.m. Farmer's Market was out of blueberries by the time I got there last Sat. but hoping to get some this week. Nothing better than fresh warm blueberry pie... It's a fav of my hubby too...
ReplyDeleteWe grow the big domestic ones. This year's a bumper crop. However, I remember those low-bush blueberries, and picking them when I was a kid. Blueberry pie is a pretty big treat, but lately I've been making scones.
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious and would taste yummy with my morning porridge.
ReplyDeleteWhat is blueberry grunt please?
