From the Author:
Blueberries are a beautiful blue-purple berry native to the eastern half of the United States, but they are now grown extensively throughout the East, Midwest, and West. A close relative of huckleberries, blueberries have a mellow, delicious flavor unlike any other berry. Blueberries have an interesting history of facts and folklore. Their blossoms are bell-shaped and beautiful, and the fruit is delicious to eat cooked or raw. It is no wonder that blueberry bush cultivation spread quickly throughout the United States. Some of this blueberry folklore is included in this book. As a poet, I found it enjoyable to color this cookbook with poetry so that the reader can savor the metaphorical richness of the blueberry, as well as its literal flavor. Also included in this cookbook are some articles on history, folklore, cultivation and botanical information, along with interesting facts about blueberries.
