I've been craving blueberries and all of a sudden, signs for pick your own blueberries have been popping up everywhere I turned. I suggested going blueberry picking at the weekend. B had visions of blueberry pancakes. Me? Pie.
We headed to Fairgreen Farms in Middleton. The farm was hidden down a long and windy dirt track which didn't appear to be heading anywhere. But then - jackpot.
(Rocking the O-H-I-O)
(See that cardigan? Autumn is coming....)
We collected two containers at roughly one kilo each for £9. Bargain!
I have been dying to make blueberry pie. It's one of those things I've just never seen here in the UK. I used a crust recipe from Sprinkle Bakes (best crust recipe I've found) and coated the berries in tons of sugar before baking.
Mmmm.
While waiting for the pie, I baked some lemon and basil cookies. I wasn't sure about them - even after they came out of the oven I ate about four just trying to work out if I liked the flavour. I'm taking them to rehearsal tonight so the girls can be the judges! Recipe here.
And Finally...
Pie! Real blueberry pie! I'm so excited!
I can't wait for Rich to get home from work so we can sample this delish dish. More baking to come - I LOVE the summer holidays!
