The Blueberry Post

Even though I was born more than half a century before Blueberry Girl was published, I had the most excellent fortune to grow up being granted all of the appeals and gifts in Neil's poem.

Tonight, though, I'm a girl with blueberries and I need some ideas of what to do with them.

I'm talking 4 pints worth. Not enough for jam, but more than I'm likely to eat in a fruit salad. I also have 3 kiwis, and 4 peaches that want some ripening. The sale prices were that good.

At the very least, I can freeze the blueberries. That would work well for later baked goods, pancakes, and waffles, though I hardly ever make pancakes or waffles.

I do think I'll make up a bowl of fruit salad -- blueberries, kiwis, and peaches sounds yummy and if it stops raining long enough tomorrow, I can probably add some fresh black raspberries and maybe even some blackberries to the bowl.

What else?

Excellent idea! I haven't made a pie in forever, and never a blueberry pie, let alone one from fresh blueberries. That sounds like just the thing.
