Blueberries


Today's mission:



The kids dove right in and got to work...they're all so serious!







Sweetness.



Sharing.


Pride.





This is what 17 lbs (or approximately $40, or two hours of picking) of blueberries looks like...



Yummy.



So far I've been busy getting them frozen.  Who knew an actual process was involved (more on that later).  I've only made one actual dish; otherwise we've been eating them fresh.

Blueberry Crisp (adapted from an apple crisp recipe)
blueberries (enough to fill a pie plate or whatever at least 3/4 full)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour (unbleached, whole wheat, whatever; it doesn't effect the texture much)
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup oats
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
This recipe is ridiculously easy.  Put the blueberries in the dish.  Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl with a fork.  Crumble mixture over berries.  Bake for 30 minuets at 375 degrees.
