I recently went blueberry picking in Surrey, BC. There are lots of blueberry farms in Surrey and the city hosts an annual blueberry festival every year.
It was my first time picking these berries from the vine and I strangely felt connected to what I was eating. It's different from the pre-packaged trays in the grocery store and the taste was so much better. I probably ate half of what was picked and still had quiet a lot left over so I decided to make blueberry jam. Having never made jam before I was rather surprised at how well it turned out. It was actually delicious.

Morning, The berries look great. I have never picked berries before either, but them I have never made jam either,

I was all ready for a picture of some beautiful jam, but I'll have to settle for words. Happy Blue Monday.
My computer is so slow! Now I see your four yummy pictures! How good it looks.
Oh, I LOVE blueberries! They never get as far as being cooked though. They're very expensive over here in England, so I buy a small punnet, wash them and just eat them like that.
Love the pictures - the first is my favourite, although it was close. I love the second one, too!
Yummy looking blueberries! We used to go berry picking when I was a young girl growing up and I have many happy memories of those times! Thanks for sharing and have a happy BLUE MONDAY!
Lucky you to have blueberries such as these. They are very expensive in the supermarkets here in France. I did try growing my own this year and had a crop from 6 bushes of just 250 g! Enough for 12 muffins, boy did they taste good.
Happy Blue Monday

I love the collage you assembled to share with us today. It, has unfortunately, made me hungry :-). I hope you are having a wonderful day.
Blue berries are a good healthy food and make excellent jam. Try not to eat too many.
Glad you had such good luck with your first time at making jam. It looks absolutely wonderful and now I'm hungry:~)
The Blueberry looks good and yummy jam!
I loved your blueberry jam story. It is so full of emotions.
You take great pictures!
Happy Blue Monday,

Oh yum!
I made a blueberry cobbler to take to church yesterday. It was so good. I love fresh blueberries. It looks like you do too.

You are so right about the difference in taste between pre-packaged and fresh picked. Glad you enjoyed your blueberries and also glad you posted the photos.
I so definitely agree. My mouth is watering over your blueberries. I hope you will join me for Crock Pot Wednesdays at Diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. My "blue" this week is part of a tribute to Julia Child. Hope to see you signed up with Mister Linky.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. The jam was wonderful, wish I could give you some to taste.
Never tasted Blue Berry Jam before. I would love to try that for breakfast. Next time when you post about food do a favour and describe its flavour.
Yummy... I remembered my granma"s back yard full of berries.
