Blueberry Picking

Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits. They taste amazing by themselves, over my breakfast cereal, and in a variety of blueberry recipes.

This past week we took a trip over to Whitehall to go blueberry picking at Hyatt Blueberry Farm.

It’s so great to have access to so many fresh fruits, and it doesn’t get much fresher than picking them right from the bush!

We picked about 25 pounds, but I wish we would have had time to pick more.

Easy to Preserve

Blueberries are definitely one of my favorite fruits – not only because they taste so good, but also because they’re so easy to preserve. No pitting, no peeling, no pureeing. Just wash, dry slightly, and put them in the freezer. Blueberries will keep in the freezer for many months.

Delicious Ways to Eat Blueberries

In the middle of winter, we plow through bags of frozen blueberries from the summer before, adding them to everything from muffins to smoothies to fruit salads. I especially love having blueberries over my hot cereal and also on my granola. I’ve even been known to put blueberries in my almond butter sandwiches.

Blueberries also taste yummers sprinkled on top of this Apple Breakfast Salad.

And they’re so pretty on this Fruit Pizza.
