Bow Hill Blueberries

Back in September, on one of Eric's days off, we headed over to a blueberry farm that allowed you to pick the blueberries yourself :) Everyone in our family loves Blueberries so this was good outing for us. To be honest the kids did more eating than picking but I can't complain they left happy, stained finger tips and full bellies. We will definitely will be going back next blueberry season. 















In the end, after weeding through our pickings and ridding the collection of overly ripe or not ripe at all berries (Caleb didn't quite get the concept of picking only the ripe ones) we had two full bags of delicious berries. We ate them plain, on top of waffles, used them to bake yummy breakfast cakes or scrumptious muffins, threw them in salads, sprinkled them on top of our hot cereal along with chopped pecans and brown sugar, froze a few for smoothies and made blueberry syrup! We enjoyed those berries while they lasted and look forward to next years crop :)
