This weekend, my nephew, Jake, and The Nyquist's came to the cabin and we went blueberry picking in nearby General Andrews State Forest. There were so many blueberries in one patch that all we could do was sit in the middle of them all and pick away. It was a blast. Just when you thought you had enough and should go home, you'd see another bush full of berries and start picking again. With all those yummy, free blueberries around it was hard to stop. We filled a few containers with fresh, wild blueberries. Heidi made us blueberry pancakes for breakfast. I chose a different route. I filled an empty bottle with berries, added a cup of sugar, then filled it up with vodka. I had picked some wild raspberries the day before and did the same with those. Raspberry and Blueberry Cordial! Now I'm supposed to wait six months before it's ready to use. I'll be able to bust it out during the holidays this year. (PS.. I only made it two days before I tasted the raspberry, but haven't broke into the blueberry yet. )

I am going to make blueberry syrup tomorrow and freeze the rest until I figure out what to do with the rest....I am thinking pie or something yummy too.
