I sucked it up and went blueberry picking. It was WAY later than when we originally planned but we went none the less. We picked a basket full in an hour for $11.00. It was 100 degrees out though and Amy almost passed out from the heat. -AK

Blueberries

Tomorrow I am going blueberry picking with a bunch of people I have never met via meetup.com. I am super excited for it and in light of this trip I will probably be freezing some berries as well as making some texas blueberry jam. Check out this recipe via Martha Stewart. 

Blueberry Jam

  • YieldMAKES ABOUT 3 CUPS

  • Ingredients

  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 3 1/2 cups sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Put a plate in the freezer. With a potato masher or spoon, crush 1 cup berries in a medium heavy-bottom nonreactive saucepan.

  2. Add remaining 3 cups berries and 1/2 cup water; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to break up berries, until berries are soft, about 6 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, spread sugar out on a rimmed baking sheet. Heat in oven until warm, about 5 minutes.

  4. Slowly stir sugar into saucepan; return mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook at a slow boil until thickened, 45 minutes to 1 hour. To test for doneness, drop a small amount of jam onto the chilled plate; it should wrinkle when pressed with your finger.
