Picking blueberries
August 2009
We ended up going picking 3 times! I planned on getting lots of blueberries for pies, smoothies and for just eating fresh and frozen! They have to be the easiest food to put up! Wash and bag and freeze!
We got Mark to go with us the second time. We went to a farm in Holland and planned on going to the beach afterwards, but it was raining! If you look close you can see my wet shoulders.
But the picking was really good here! We got 3 buckets full!
They were huge blueberries and we had huge smiles!
Just 3 days later we went blueberry picking with Aunt Katie and Chase. We went somewhere closer and didn't get quite as good of picking. The berries were smaller, which was fine, but just not as ripe in clumps like the other place was. Chase took a little nap in the shade while we picked!
Afterward Katie and I made some Go Blue! Jam with the blueberries, peaches, and some other
"top secret" ingredients. (according to Mark, because he loves it and thinks I should sell it someday.)
