Sunday was my annual pilgrimage to Newbury to pick blueberries from my parent's HUGE blueberry bush. One of these years I will remember to take photos of the bush itself; no one ever believes how big it is, nor how many blueberries are on it. My mother and I picked over only half the bush and I brought home 10-14 cups of blueberries. I considered picking more when it started to pour rain. I had brought rain gear, just in case. But I decided I had enough berries. Silly me - one can never have too many Newbury blueberries!
I didn't have time to wash, dry and freeze them until Tuesday. My stash dwindled in those two days. This year's crop is the sweetest I remember. Normally I freeze all the berries I bring home, but this time I'm leaving 3-4 cups in the fridge for snacking. The frozen ones will end up in muffins and my blueberry cake. Yum!
