Nana's Ideas for a Berry Nice Day

Summer is ending shortly and with it comes the harvesting of the berries. There are blueberries and strawberries, boysenberries, loganberries, red and black raspberries. Every one of these make wonderful ingredients for salad's and main courses, condiments & sauces, desserts and recipes for kids.

The types of recipes listed in the web site links given for this article are:

1. A Romanian family heirloom recipe by Mary Faur for strawberry pie 2. Sixty-Four recipes, which call for strawberries 3. Seven different recipes for blackberry cobbler. 4. Grandma's recipes for jams, jellies, preserves and marmalade. (These are wonderful for canning and storing for the long winter months or giving as gifts in decorated jars.) 5. Tons of recipes on one site for all the different varieties of berries.

The other web sites listed give information about growing strawberries, incect & disease, selection & care, straberry shorts, history & lore, nutrition, reicpes, farms, festivals, facts. They also discuss growing low bush blueberries in Nova Scotia, from woods to blueberries, burning vs. mowing, pollination, harvesting to market, plus links to other blue berry sites.

Berries are not only a delicious way to adorn a table for a summer party they are also very healthy. Grocery stores are full of fresh ripe berries. Picking them straight from the garden can also be a good way to spend some quality time with your children or grandchildren which ever the case may be. Just one more of Nana's ideas for a berry nice day. :)
