not these
Not that my blueberry bushes are doing badly--though to call them "bushes" is perhaps a bit of an overstatement right now--but we'll be thrilled if we can double our blueberry crop to 24 berries this year. I have been giving them regular pep talks....and perhaps mentioned the fate of the scraggly, useless bushes that used to be in the front yard...........
Yesterday I made a double batch of blueberry-nutmeg jam using some fabulous frozen blueberries I found at Costco last week. We ran out of blueberry jam a while ago--having given most of it away--and I had forgotten how good it really is. And it's actually pretty simple to make--being one of the jams you add pectin to, rather than relying on my nonexistent skill to cook the jam until it will "set" but not long enough to become some sort of bizarre jam-gumdrops (which is what the carrot-bourbon jam turned out to be). Boil 2 minutes, stir in pectin, then can--THAT I can do. Especially with properly motivated by blueberries......

Good for you, blueberries are full of anti oxidants etc... Very healthful for you. Sounds good too. Last summer i brought home 2 cases of homemade jams from my sister in law, strawberry, strawberry ruhbarb, peach preserves, apple butter, and raspberry, mmmm good. I've even been a good girl and have used only 4 so far, saving them for very special Sundays etc...
