    Blueberries are awesome…just ask my youngest who loves them frozen with milk. The ultimate snack. :giraffe:

    Yeah, that’s the reason why I usually don’t pick blueberries on my own, either. :feedme: And if I do, I make a lot of noise. Though usually bears tend to avoid people and you have to be either really lucky or really unlucky to see one.
    And now I want some blueberry pie (the Finnish version). I guess I have to make some once I get back home. :chocoyum:

      There’s a pick-your-own place in our area that’s surrounded by fencing & all kinds of protective stuff. I still won’t go…partly because of SAL & partly because SAL is a good excuse *not* to. :giraffe:

        Well, around here we pick our blueberries from a forest at autumn. And of course bears are picking them, too…

        • Heidi says:

          LOL Yeah, um…if it comes down to it, the bears are gonna win. I’ll drop by pail & they can have ALL the blueberries. :feedme:

    Finnish blueberry pie? Sounds interesting. I have a friend who is starting up a pick-your-own place out in Wisconsin, so am starting to enjoy them more each year.

    • Heidi says:

      Oh, the home grown, pick-your-own are so yummy. When I can get them (picked by someone else, of course :alice: ) I really do prefer them over store bought…& I can taste a difference.

      But I am a blueberry fiend, so I’ll take any & as many as I can get. :chocoyum:

      Rowan, this recipe I found looks pretty much like the one I use (I’m not at home, so I can’t check out my recipe books), except that I never mash the berries and of course this time of year, fresh blueberries are not an option and I usually add some flour to the berries so that the pie wouldn’t be soggy:
