the fruit, literally, of our labor

one hot day in june we travelled to the northshore to go blueberry picking. although it was a while ago, this endeavor definitely deserves a post! i just love picking, harvesting, gathering, collecting...food that is :) maybe it was getting to spend time on my grandmothers farm as a kid, but to me berry picking is a favorite!



two of my faves joined in on the fun. my brother and i are proud of our hard work!


immediately (he insisted the minute we walked in the door!) when we got home it was time to make a blueberry cobbler.


maple was accidentally floured in the process of rolling out the crust. she didn't seem to mind.


delicious! recipe here. and yes, that is mounding piles of sugar on the top.


the next recipe, blueberry ice cream! some of the best ice cream i've had (and that's saying a lot if you know me!) recipe here.


the next few days were spent eating blueberries by the cupful. don't worry my gathering self froze some and saved them for winter :)

any favorite berries or berrylicious recipes? i'd love to hear!
