The time has come: fresh blueberries are everywhere in Maine. Many colorful signs indicate where you can even pick them yourself: Pick Your Own! A culinary delight that is hard to resist! If you don't want to pick them yourself, you only need to make a quick stop by car. Along the popular roads—such as Route 1 along the coast—farmers stand and sell the berries in small cartons. You have the choice between the larger, firmer blueberries and the wild, more aromatic ones.
Regardless of which variety you choose, American cuisine offers a multitude of blueberry recipes—from fruit salad and jam to blueberry muffins and blueberry pancakes. For those who aren't currently in Maine on the East Coast, an alternative would be to try the blueberry jam from Stonewall Kitchen —the most popular product in the range of the "jam company" from Maine.
Enjoy Your Blueberries!
