Blueberry Bonanza!
Our 20 pounds of Michigan grown blueberries are in. I have already started the first batch of Blueberry Jelly - my first ever.
The plan is to can about 12 pints of jelly vs. jam today, but we will see. I have a list of other things to make with the blueberries, as well as freeze some of them for future muffins, breakfast bars, breads, and pancakes/waffles.
We placed an order through a local produce/garden market, who trucks them in from Michigan. I am not sure which particular location in MI they are trucked in from. We have a local U-pick farm nearby, but I have not heard back if they are still open.
