A great farm for apples
Now it's blueberry time
Pick out a bucket with a rope
We went blueberry picking at a farm today.
You take a bucket (which used to be a milk jug) and hang the rope, which is tied through the handle, around your neck.
Lots of other families are there and everyone is excited about the berries making it home to become ingredients in pies, pancakes, muffins, or just to snack on!
It only takes about a half hour. You know you're done when you feel the sun beating down on your head. When you return to the building, the staff pours your berries into a paper bag and weighs them for the total charge. They didn't cost much, and they sure are delicious.
Here's a favorite muffin recipe:
Begged Blueberry Muffins
1/2 c. butter
2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
2 tsp. baking powder
2 1/2 c. blueberries
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar for topping
Cream butter & sugar slowly. Add eggs, one at a time. Add sifted dry ingredients and milk alternately and beat till smooth. Crush 1/2 c. berries and stir into mixture with a spoon. Add the remaining berries whole.
Fill greased muffin tins high, making sure the top of the muffin tin is also greased. Sprinkle tops with sugar and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 min. Let cool in tins for 25 minutes.
