Blueberry Pickin'

Sunday afternoon we went to DuPont State Forest in Brevard with the Freemans. Herb and Bobby fly-fished there in the spring and have been mountain biking there in recent weeks. During their ride Saturday morning, they noticed the wild blueberries were ready for picking. After about a mile hike to the "top" (which Thompson did great, not complaining once! and William decided to catch some zzz's in the backpack) we picked and picked and picked some more, stealing a few to enjoy along the way. So, with all the fresh blueberries, it could only mean one thing: time to hit the kitchen to make some blueberry "treats". First on the list was blueberry cobbler, which we enjoyed Sunday night, followed by blueberry cheesecake ice cream last night. And we still have blueberries to enjoy! Blueberry muffins anyone?

Yay for blueberries! Hope you enjoyed the cobbler. How was the ice cream? Sounds yummy! I hope to use some of ours for blueberry and yogurt Popsicles next.
