Blackcaps, Blueberries, Blackberries and “The Farmers Weight Loss Plan”
Blueberry season is in full swing. Yesterday, Leah and I and my Mom and Dad and the 3 boys picked for a couple hours. We ended up with about 65 pounds of berries. The folks have been freezing their share and ours have been going into jam and some into the freezer. We’ll have to go picking at least one more time to have a winters worth, we use a lot of blueberries. We need to freeze more and I’d like to make some syrup to help stretch out the maple syrup. Blackcaps are about done. We have a good store of them made into jam. Blackberries are just now getting ripe so we’ll be heading to the woods as soon as we get these blueberries finished up.
If you’ve ever wondered what the best way to eat blueberries is, I’ll tell you my favorite. Its very simple and extremely good. Fill a bowl with blueberries. Sprinkle sugar on them. Pour fresh heavy cream on them (the more cream the better). This is a part of my award winning “Farmers weight loss system”. The secret is lots of heavy cream, butter and pig fat. Then you ballance that out with hard labor. Works for me.

I’m all for your “Farmers Weight Loss Plan”!
Wish we still had fresh blueberries around here…but that was almost 2 months ago!

Your weight loss plan just doesn’t seem to work for me.
No enough hard labor around here, I guess. LOL!
