We have started picking blueberries.  There are more than last year, but not as many as we’ve had in the past.  One year there were so many blueberries (12 gallons!!!) we couldn’t eat them all.  We ate tons, gave tons to our friends, and still had to buy a small chest freezer to store them.

 

Blueberries are great frozen.  And they are so easy.  All you have to do is make sure all the stems are off, and freeze them flat in quart size bags.   It couldn’t be easier.  My sister calls them “blueberry popsicles.” 

 

When we have a ton, we like to dehydrate them, making blueberry raisins.  They take up less room in the freezer that way, and still work great for oatmeal and blueberry muffins.  

 

We are happy here at Crazybrook Farm.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
