Blueberries

This week we had family night on Tuesday and we went and picked blueberries with our friend Logan.  It was so much fun.  An older couple lives just a little ways out of the city and has a beautiful house with a large blueberry and blackberry garden that they open to the public on Tuesdays and Saturdays.  They had hundreds of blueberry bushes and we got to pick as much as we wanted.  It was $2/lb, so I thought that was a great deal for fresh fruit.  Alden loved being outside and it was fun to sit and talk while picking.  Now I have a little less than seven pounds of blueberries that I'm trying to come up with ways to use.  Since we're leaving in less than a month I can't really store them, so they need to be used.  So far this week we've had several blueberry dishes.  But we love them and it's fun to come up with uses for fresh fruit.  We've had a blueberry cobbler, blueberry syrup, and blueberry muffins.  If anyone has any ideas or favorite recipes I'm open to suggestions!

Alden kept on wanting to taste the leaves
