Blueberries.

Not sure if it's protocol to do this here....so if it isn't, lesson learned.

Was at Copley Shaws last night and they have what I consider to be a dreamy promotion right now.
Buy 1 pint of blueberries
Get 2 FREE!!!!!

Cost me 3.99 for the lot of them.
I thought other blueberry addicts ought to know.
Not sure how long they're running the promo.

The berries in our Stillmans share this weekend were a tad skimpy -- just a hair under a pint -- so I'm thinking that we're already seeing the tail end of the season until the Maine berries come in. However, I bet they'll still have some at the Brookline Farmers Market on Thursday. Get 'em while you can!

Same at the Star Market across the street from R.F. O'Sullivan's. Big berries, medium flavor.

I've had wonderful ones from Hamilton Orchards stand at the Copley and City Hall Farmers' Markets. I also had some from Stillman's Farm. All were luscious!

This time of year, breakfast for me is half a mug of blueberries with a quarter cup of low-fat granola and a few spoonfuls of Fage 0% Total Yogurt mixed in. YUM!

Got some AWESOME blueberries in my CSA share this week. Not sure where from but all produce is local. I'll find out where they came from.

That's positively Russo's-like in quantity and price.

[Jambon_It]

Yes, I think they are from NJ.
I haven't eaten mine yet so I can't speak to the flavor.
Most of standard-store bought blueberries at this time of year have been very so-so.
I've gotten some at the Copley Farmer's Market that have been way more juicy and flavorful.

the fresh ones we tried from Shaw's yesterday seemed a bit bland (not sour at least, but not sweet or memorable)-:

Shaws usually runs their specials Friday-Thursday, so last night was probably the end of the promo, unless it happened to carry over for a second week. And I would assume that they're cultivated berries, from NJ or elsewhere - I've never seen fresh wild blueberries in a supermarket. (You can get them frozen year-round.)

I try to keep a sharp eye out in the farmer's markets and pick up a couple of quarts of local wild blueberries when I can find them (again, most of them end up frozen!) I got some last summer, but it was the first time in three or four years that I'd seen any at all.

New Jersey or Maine blueberries? I grew up in NJ and always thought of them as the best, until I tasted wild Maine blueberries. I LOVE wild Maine blueberries - excellent for using in baking. But I do like the bigger NJ blueberries for fruit salads.

Def. not Maine...not until later in the summer

That's what I thought. Eagerly anticipating their local arrival!
