Default Re: Got my blueberry bushes...

Wow that's awesome, 80lbs. I hope to get enough bushes to get that much one day. How many plants do you have in total?

I have 17 known varieties plus several unknown. I have been wanting to get an Emerald and Jewel.

As for recipes, we eat them fresh every night once they come in--I put a spoonful of blueberry pie filling on top of about a 1/2 cup of fresh berries, a couple spoons of Grape Nuts, whipped cream and then top that with shaved dark chocolate.

I freeze a bunch and then make blueberry wine in winter when it is cooler.
