Beautiful Blueberries
If it wasn’t so hot I would bake something. Maybe a blueberry pie. The word for the weather today is yuk! It is hot and humid and sticky.
The blueberries are beautiful and very ripe. They arrived today from Michigan. We buy blueberries and peaches from some Amish folks each year. They are trucked into Minnesota and we go pick them up. The peaches will be here in August.
I just finished “processing” the whole load of blueberries. Before doing anything with them, we ate big bowls of berries with sugar and milk. Then the” processing” began. The end result is as follows. The dehydrator is busy drying blueberries. The dried berries are great on oatmeal and in granola. There is a big bowl filled to the top in the refrig. These will be consumed fresh. There are packages of blueberries in the freezer. These will decorate pancakes this winter. There is a basket full of blueberries sitting on the kitchen counter. These will be made into jars of blueberries jam.
No pie. It is just too hot. I am headed to the porch to sit and do absolutely nothing.

Sounds wonderful. I put dried blueberries in my fruitcakes at Christmastime. Not the traditional fruitcake…no citron, just loads of wonderful dried fruit. I will have to try them in granola. The fruits of your labor will be enjoyed this winter. And, yes, it is too hot to turn on the oven.
