Blueberry-licious

We are swimming in blueberries here!

And I can't think of anything more delicious than the 20 lbs. of Michigan blueberries that have taken up residence in our refrigerator.

I've been baking and even tried a little canning. I made a yummy blueberry upside down cake from a recipe I found on Pinterest. Pinterest is a virtual pinboard to collect any number of things, it saves your links so you can re-find that interesting recipe, craft, saying, etc. easily. At my husband's request, I baked a blueberry bundt cake that was really delicious.

I also decided to try canning some blueberry syrup. I have really only been a helper to Matt's mom when she cans and I have never done blueberries, so it was a little bit of a trip into uncharted territory. There were several moments when I was a little unsure if I was doing things correctly, but we got 2 pints of syrup plus a little more to sample soon.

Tomorrow I will be making two fresh blueberry pies for a staff party we are hosting. The rest of the blueberries are currently unclaimed, but I want to try the blueberry upside down cake again - the second time around should go a little more smoothly. I've been thinking about baking up some blueberry muffins for the freezer as well. The rest (if there are any) will probably be frozen for future baking.

Are you hungry yet? Stop by, I'll share.
