Just about everyone knows that July is the best month for blueberries in the South. So it's no surprise that I am about to post a recipe that I used yesterday that incorporates these gorgeous berries! But the best part is how I obtained them. Through the power of social networking, I heard of a man who's backyard is nothing but blueberry trees and he allows people to come and pick them and charges minimal cost for his berries (I paid $4.00 for a quart). He doesn't advertise to my knowledge, other than 8x10 size on his garage, so word of mouth is how he's getting his customers. So, I see the post on Facebook about it and decide to map out his location. He's only a few blocks from my work! How convienant! So on my lunch hour, in my dress pants and heels (in the 90 degree heat!) I head over and pick my berries. 30 minutes and $4.00 later... I have my beautiful fresh blueberries!
The plan? I turn to my good friend, Barefoot Contessa (also known as Ina Garten) from the Food Network. Sure enough she has a very easy and refreshing recipe using blueberries... her Blueberry Crumb Cake.
This recipe was soooo easy to make!!! And it uses nothing out of the ordinary which is great if you need to make something right away. As long as you have a typically stocked pantry and some blueberries, you can pull this baby off! In less than an hour, you can have a beautiful and delicious dessert. Or in my case, breakfast!
