Like Juan Valdez and his coffee beans, we took our burro (the Subaru) up into the mountains to load it up with blueberries which make awful coffee but a great topping for your morning cereal and can be used in at least a dozen recipes according to a book we purchased at the farm pictured above. I had never picked fruit off the vine before this so it was quite an experience to dodge the bees and wasps that also compete for the berries. Still, you can tell from the bucket above how delicious they are and so good to just pop into your mouth as a tasty treat. We left with two full buckets and came home to make blueberry hamburgers. Blueberry hamburgers? that's right. Take a hamburger patty and put bluberries in the center and grill until done. We also had blueberry pancakes with NH maple syrup which should probably be illegal it's so good. (I also bought a strawberry rhubarb pie while we were there which has nothing to do with blueberries, or this story really, but I thought you might like to know it's my favorite pie if you ever happen to entertain us in your home.) Erin went back to pick another bucket less than a week later since we were already running out. Apples are in season next month so we'll have more picking adventure pics up soon.(Click on each of these pics to see the enlarged version.)
