The Blueberry Post

[gerisullivan]

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?

Great site, with several amusements. My favorite line: "Fresh, frozen or dried blueberries are the best forms of blueberries for muffins."

And what other forms of blueberries might there be?

They even ask and answer that question of the Ages: "Does size matter?"

"giant mutant"? "sadly immature"? :->

Other forms of blueberries? Tinned. What they are saying is that the tins of berries that you get (intended mainly for pie filling) are no use in muffins.
