Picking Blueberries
Today my husband and I went out to find blueberries and we were not disappointed. We had to stop when our bowls were filled to the brim.
Do you have wild blueberries now where you live?
PS a few days after this first “harvest” of wild blue berries we went out again and this time we got as many as the first time. They are now boiled and blended and the result is a thick blueberry soup. In Sweden it’s used after skiing, but we tried it immediately a summer evening.

We have wild dewberries and muscadines in Louisiana. They are wonderful.

I will have to look those words up in my dictionary. It’s so nice to find free healthy stuff out in the nature. I enjoyed so much reading about your father’s life in a difficult period. I am writing about my family in Danish in another blog but I have done some posts on them at this one too

Thanks. What is your other blog. Muscadine are a wild sweet grape. Dewberries grow wild in the South. They grow on low prickly runners close to the ground. They are a lot like blackberries, but sweeter.

Nice to hear about the wild berries. The last one I couldn’t look up. The blog on my memoirs in Danish is Barn&Mor – Mine Barndomsoplevelser og minder fra Slægten

Wild blueberries may be Maine’s largest crop, besides lobsters. Our little wild blueberries will arrive in one or two weeks. They have more flavor the the large cultivated ones.

Yes Paula these have flavor and color too. The ones you buy in the shops have no real taste. I will have to go tomorrow again to get more of them

Affirmative. Blueberries sighted in Luxembourg on a few, remote spots in the northern part of the country. Not too common, we have muvh more raspberries, wild strawberries and blackberries.

I remember picking blueberries at ‘Hugli’s Blueberries’ when on holiday in Canada in 2013. They tasted delicious, much better than the ones we buy here in UK supermarkets.

Yes these are more tasty but also more fragile so they would never last in a supermarket. Mine are all in the fridge now. Do you have them at the Isle of White? These grow at heather areas

On the Isle of Wight I’ve only ever seen them in a supermarket!

Yes and nobody seems to be aware of them. It’s like it’s easier to just buy them. But it’s a joy to find them and to get blue fingertips

We have blieberries in pots outside our kitchen window, we wait to see how many the blackbirds leave us 😄 We have wild blackberries though, growing through our neighbour’s fence!

I live in New Jersey which is probably the blueberry capital of the country. Last weekend I made blueberry ice cream. Not as health as your treat but it was delicious.
