The season so far has been good for blueberries both for high bush and the coveted wild berries.  So many other local crops have not done as well.  Local peaches are a bust, and sour cherries were nearly nonexistent.  I bought two pounds of cherries and have used them up, one time in a cobbler and the other in a small 8-inch pie.  In other seasons I’ve had many pounds that I pitted and froze for future use.  Not this year.

As for blueberries, they’re everywhere, and I’ve taken to combining both high bush and wild in various pies, tarts and cobblers.  I like the combination.  The high bush add heft and the wild add their delicate sweetness in a great combination.
