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?

I've just tossed the pint plastic package in the freezer and they freeze just fine. I do empty them into a bag after they've frozen. I throw them in muesli or breakfast cereal in the morning. Rumor has it that they're better than rosemary for remembrance.

In the long ago, there ustta be a store in Phoenix that made lemon ice cream with frozen blueberries.
