We had wildfires go through near our lake place a couple years ago. Found a patch of wild blueberries in the burnt out forest. must stretch for 50 acres and the ground is covered with them. I picked these in about an hour. These are so good and loaded with all the good antioxidants you don't get from the grocery store farm raised plants.

Wild blueberries are the best!

Cool! I've never had the pleasure. I've had plenty of wild blackberries, but never these.

Love wild blueberries, been eating them since a toddler at my grandfathers cabin on Whitefish Bay, Lake of the Woods, Ontario. We'd make blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes, two kinds of pies, one with all baked berries and one with only part of the berries baked.

One year we traveled to several islands on a blueberry harvesting expedition. To my disappointment, they crushed the berries and attempted to make blueberry wine instead of the normal blueberry goodies. Don't know if the wine was a success.

I found they store better in bowls or jars instead of bags. The bags cause them to rub against each other. Don't wash them until just before eating or cooking with them.

They don't stay in the bags very long. I clean through them and then freeze them on a cookie sheet. Once frozen I put them back in the bag. That way they don't all clump together and you can just take out a handful if that's all you want from the freezer.

The bears know where the berries are as well seen some scat out there. Not much to worry about just make sure you make some noise so they know you're there. Not dealing with griz just black bears around here.

Very nice, I bet they taste great!

Breakfast tomorrow at lastmanstanding’s house. 7:30 sharp. Please bring bacon, sausage, or coffee to share!

I have had blueberry pancakes several times. My daughter who went picking with me as well made this crazy good blueberry dessert. Crushed pretzel crust on the bottom with cream cheese and whip cream center and topped with blueberry filling and more pretzel crust on top. Amazing blueberry flavor! We are going picking again next week!

Good haul, in a hour!.

My favorite huckleberry spot was like that when I found it. Sit down smack dab in the middle and get a gallon in less than an hour without even moving. Come home with purple fingers and enjoy!

When I was a kid we had a place that was just covered with bushes. Dad would drive us all up there (seven kids and occasionally mom), sit down in his lawn chair next to a green Coleman cooler filled with beer, and two five gallon buckets. "We're not going home until these are full".

Holy cow, those are tiny compared to the farm raised grocery store ones.

I wonder if it is kinda like wine grapes - The Gallos of the world go for tonnage and there isn’t a lot of flavor there, while some of the boutique vineyards really make the vines struggle, resulting in a fraction of the tonnage per acre, but much more flavor and character.

In any case, it looks like you scored for your work. Looking forward to the pictures of whatever you cook with them.
