Freeze some; serve them for breakfast frozen with some especially good
yogurt, some toasted oats (or musli) and especially good honey.
Let it set a little bit for the oats to soften, and the yogurt to get
colder from the frozen berries.
I never want to be without frozen blueberries in my freezer.

Grunt.

It's terribly tempting to stock up on them - they're just so gorgeous
and yummy right now - and they do freeze nicely. Know what, though?
You can just buy them already frozen, probably for less than what you'd
pay for fresh, and the brands I've bought frozen have all been
perfectly fine. I think they're $2.99 or less for a one lb. bag, and
I'm all for letting someone else do the work.

Freeze them. Then, throughout the year you can put them in your morning
cereal or make ----

Blueberry sauce -- blueberries, water, sugar, and some people add a
splash of liqueur, but I don't. Yummy.

Lovely neighbor lady gave us this recipe. She made them for us once
and Miguel (DH) made a batch recently. They're wonderful!:

Blueberry Muffins

You will need foil muffin cups for this recipe. Bake on a cookie
sheet at 375° F for 20-25 minutes.

2 C. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 C. melted butter (cooled)
2 eggs
1 1/4 C. sugar
1/2 C. milk
2 - 2 1/2 C. blueberries

Mix first 3 listed dry ingredients in bowl. In separate bowl,
mix sugar and eggs, then add milk. Add to dry ingredients, mix
until all ingredients are combines, then add blueberries. Use
extra 2 T. of flour if using frozen blueberries. Fill muffin
cups to the top. Sprinkle top with sugar before baking.

In addition to everything offered here -- pancakes. Blueberry pancakes
with frozen blueberries in the winter are okay. Blueberry pancakes
with fresh pancakes in August are... they are... oh-my-goodness-divine.
The blueberries *pop* when they're prepared from fresh in a way that
never happens when they're prepared from frozen.

I only freeze fresh berries when I pick them myself (raspberries last
week, this week, and next. Blueberries hopefully next week and the
following couple).

Eat the fresh berries now, as many as you can in as many ways as you
can until you can eat berries no longer. Eat'em plain by the handful.
Their season is fleeting, so be not coy and gather ye berries while ye
may...

Sorry. I might have gone just a tad over the top there. I enjoy a
good berry.

Freeze what you are not going to use. I've always got some blueberries,
blackberries and cranberries in the freezer. I'd freeze peaches and
strawberries also but I eat them too fast.

Michael,
If you haven't stocked up for the season, you might want to check out
Sappington Farmer's Market. They have blueberries priced at 3 pints for $4
or a flat (case of 12 pints) for $15.75. I bought a flat a couple of days
ago and flash froze them - that will keep me in berries until this time
next year.

Thanks for the tip. I've been going to Eckert's. Have you been to the
Farmer's Market in Kirkwood? They are usually too pricey but always have
really good produce.

*giggle* I like you people just fine, but anyone who wants to argue
that will just have to do it without me. Feel free to call it something
else. It'll still be yummy.
