Going blueberry picking is a summer tradition in my family. Every year, we go to a local farm and pick as many blueberries as we can, making bets of who can pick the most. Once we get home, arms grasping giant bowls of blueberries, it hits us that we have way too many of them. After eating some and freezing some, we still have a few more giant bowls of blueberries, which means that it is time to get baking.
