Berries, berries, and more berries...

Wifey thought we should go pick Blueberries. Shu, told me there was a good place in Fruitland park, and so did Speckanators better half. But really! Go pick blueberries, one at a time, in this heat! I don't think so. I'll drop you off at the stand dear while I look for a parking spot (I thought to myself). Anyway, I went, and WOW!

Wow, it's unbelievable. Tons of berries everywhere. You did not have to pick them one or two at a time, you just grabbed a bunch and kinda rolled them in your hand and they came off. Filled the bucket in no time. Taste fantastic. Oh, keep mouth closed when you get back to the stand to pay because somehow your mouth turns blue while you do this. I have no explanation how that happened! lol

So with the truck loaded down, we went home with about a ton of Blue Berries. LOL - Check them out at: Bass Farms - Home Great place, nice people.
Save me some cause I know Wifey will have me back there.

Those look yummy, there used to be a blueberry farm over here too but they closed. I can't imagine why your mouth would turn blue just from picking them but they would have to add a half pound to my bucket for the ones I be eatin while pickin.http://www.crappie.com/crappie/image...Aa1AHaABQB/9k=

ENOUGH of that CHEF SHU.nonono

You will be getting requests for a lawn luncheon on your front lawn, in the shade.

Ed, this is a simple but great recipe. You can make it with just blueberries by adding more blueberries in place of the peaches. Vanilla ice cream on top is hard to beat,


Serves 6 to 8

8 tablespoons butter 1 cup self-rising flour 1 cup granulated sugar 1 pinch salt 1 cup whole milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 4 medium-sized peaches, chopped into bite-sized pieces (about 2 cups) 1/4 cup blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the butter in a 13x9 baking dish and put it in the oven to melt.
Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in large bowl. Add the milk and vanilla, and whisk gently until smooth. (A couple of teeny tiny lumps are okay, but you want the batter to be as smooth as possible.)
Once the butter is melted and starting to bubble, remove the baking dish from the oven and rotate the dish to coat the bottom and sides with melted butter.
Pour the batter into the hot baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out along the pan. Butter will slop over the sides of the batter -- this is a good thing. Scatter the peaches and blueberries over the batter.
Bake cobbler until the center is just set and the edges are deep golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Eat hot, warm, room temperature, or cold from the fridge for breakfast the next morning. Vanilla ice cream is a wonderful topping, but not strictly necessary.

I knew when I posted the recipe it did not sound like the one we used. Found this one and it is even simpler.

GRANNY'S "CUPPA" COBBLER
2 cups sliced peaches (or other fruit)
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup butter

The name is clearly derived from the ingredient amounts - most of us gals raised in the south were raised on this stuff as prepared by Granny. We also grew up using blackberries instead, as they grew on vines along her garden.

Melt butter. Add sugar, milk and flour. Mix until ingredients are combined (lumpy is good). Pour mixture into a baking dish and add sliced peaches.

Fight the urge to mix the peaches with the batter - you don't need to mix it!!

Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes, or until bubbly and brown.

Thanks for all the recipes. Shu PMed me this one. I thought I'd add it here so they are all in one place.

This will work for:blueberries, apples, peaches, hard pears and probably a lot more fruit.

Put 1 stick of butter in a large (9 x 13) pan on low heat until melted(i usually put in oven as it heats to 350 degrees, like the butter to brown slightly gives good flavor to batter)
Have this mixture ready when butter is melted:
1 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
shake of salt
1 rounded teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup milk(a little more for a soft batter
pour mixture into casserole on top of butter.
If using fresh fruit i cook on stove top with a little water, sugar(don't overcook)and i like some cinnamon and a dash of ground cloves for taste.
spoon the fruit over the batter and sprinkle with a little nutmeg.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees and enjoy.--shu

^^^^^^^^This! What Hobo said! Especially the pancakes, pies and cobblers! Be hard to choose between the three. Guess I would have to eat the pancakes for breakfast, pie for lunch and a gigantic bowl of cobbler with ice cream for desert. Or maybe all 3 at each sitting.

It's fruit, right? Good for you.

^^^^ This! What Searay said! Fruit is part of a healthy diet. And so is the milk in ice cream! I would consider myself a health nut that day!

The blueberries and peaches are awesome together. Trust me on that. You know I know what to eat. :biggrin

Huh, what, someone say peaches? And what's the deal with peaches. You pick them yourself or are they having some sort of peaches festival?

Have lived all my life in the Peach state and can not stand them. Now blue berries and black berries can eat them by the bucket. Hot cobbler and homemade niller ice cream that's the ticket. And I should mention 25 units of insulin.
