Default SCORE! blueberries

Wow. Today was last day of a sale on blueberries, a fruit I was never
much fond of, before. Now, I love 'em. Anyway, they had fresh whole
blueberries on sale, $3.99 lb. I bought two and made up some pie
crusts last night. I also put some in this morning's oatmeal. Yum.

I thought, man, I want more! So jumped in truck (Mom napping) and
went to store. They were out. But, the produce clerk saw my angst
and gave me three 6 oz organic BBs (18ozs!) fer the sale price. I got
three more. Now I'm up to my eyebrows in BBs (4 lbs).

I've successfully frozen blackberries. Do BBs freeze the same way?

Damn! ....fergot to get some vanilla ice cream. (BB pie 2nite!

I put em on a jello roll pan, unwashed, freeze, then put in containers in one cup measures and I'm ready when the muffin urge strikes.

I made a lemon score other day - 3 for a buck. I have stocked up on lemon juice in 2 oz. containers, and have tons of dried zest. I'm going back for more.

You need to plant some blueberry bushes, they'll grow very well where
you live.

I think blueberries freeze better than blackberries. Without a blast
freezer blackberries that I have tried sometimes thaw back to almost
mush. Never seems to happen with blueberries frozn in my freezer.
