Actually, it's been blueberry season since mid July here in the Southern Tier of New York State, and we have possibly another week of picking left. We try to pick twice if not three times - the berries last for a long time and they are soooo good.
Here are some pictures to whet your appetite.
This was our first picking, of a blueberry variety called Patriot. It's the earliest one this U Pick It farm has.
They were so good!
What I did with these is use this recipe: Brown Sugar Blueberry Quick Bread from a website called A Big Green House. It uses almond milk and plain Greek Yogurt. and is fairly Weight Watchers friendly (such as baked goods can be). I figured it came out to 48 points for the entire loaf. I highly recommend the recipe.

Alas, the season will be almost over.
Oo - lovely! Our woods are full of luscious blueberries at the moment.
ReplyDeletemmmm Blueberries. There is a berry farm for pick-it-yourself blueberries. It is closed now (dang hot desert weather in our area of S. Calif.) and will re-open in spring.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for spring!
My grandmother used to spend her summers in the Catskills. I remember picking blueberries with her.
ReplyDeleteThat recipe looks delish
I love blueberries. I used to grow them in our backyard, but after several years the last of my bushes finally died. I miss them. I may try to replace them next spring. Nothing like blueberry-yogurt muffins made with blueberries you've grown yourself.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to go out one more time.
