It's PYO Blueberries in #VT #WeathersfieldVT
It's Pick Your Own (PYO) Blueberry season in Vermont .
At Goulden Ridge Farm in Weathersfield
the bushes are so heavy with plump, juicy blueberries some of the branches are
leaning over. The farm offers picking Wednesday through Sunday.
They even
provide jugs for you to put your berries in for fast picking.
Folks were filling their jugs to make pies, and blueberry pancakes. And for freezing to remind us of these beautiful summer days during our LONG cold winter.
I've found a great way to use blueberries and it's extremely easy too.
Take two cups of berries and put them in a sauce pan.
Add 1/4 cup water
1 cup organe juice
3/4 cup sugar
Heat over low-med heat until bubbling-stir slowly so you don't break up too many berries.
In a small bowl or dish
1/4 cup COLD water
3 tablespoons corn starch-mixed well-no lumps.
Slowly stir cornstarch into the berries. Turn off the heat.
Add 1/2 tsp almond extract
1/8 tsp cinnamon
Stir gently. Add more berries if you'd like.
Serve over ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, toast (I even pour it over watermelon slices!!)
SOOOO GOOD!
I'm sure you can freeze it too. I have a test batch in the freezer.
HAPPY PICKING!!
