New Jersey Blueberries: Summer’s Sweetest

Whether you pick your own at a local farm or find them at roadside stands, it’s worth savoring them while they’re fresh and in season.

Love, love, love Blueberries. I used to not care for them as much, but that is because of all of the FAKE blueberries in mixes and then one day, I thought…wait a minute do this from scratch and try the real deal. Oh so yummy and oh so good for you too. Sorry that it has been so long since I stopped by, so many health issues and beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Have a blessed day.
