A friend let us in on a well kept secret this week... a little homestead with a corner blueberry patch just down the road from where we live! They have just recently started to open it up for public picking ($2/pound... organic!). We went twice this week and have frozen a couple gallons, eaten a gallon or so, and today, I even tried to make some blueberry jam.
On our second trip, we pulled over 11 pounds of berries so I decided to try some jam. I wasn't quite up for a full on canning situation and didn't have any pectin on hand so I found a recipe that seemed easy and didn't require much in terms of equipment or skill (found here). I made four little jars of jam... I froze three and we'll see how long the one in the refrigerator lasts... yum!!
