Do you go blueberry picking? We have a farm nearby that we enjoy visiting to pick blueberries and we also have a couple of our own bushes that we get quite a few blueberries off of. Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits! I’ve got a recipe for a classic dessert today: Blueberry Skillet Cobbler
After we pick blueberries during the summer, I love to freeze so that we can enjoy them all year long. It’s so easy to freeze blueberries, just wash and lay a single layer on a baking sheet and put the baking sheet into the freezer. Why a single layer? That way you do not end up with a pile of berries frozen together. Once the berries are frozen you can place them into ziplock bags and then back into the freezer until it’s time to be used.

I was going to pick some fresh fruits today but it’s raining. It supposed to rain for like the next 3 weeks. I’ll have to pin this for later though, it looks yummy.
