baking with berries

first off.  patriotic jam.  better late than never eh?  blueberries, sugar, rhubarb, and a bit of pectin.

makin a sauce, checkin it twice.  bubbling the crap out of it.  ..and then dumping it in two itty bitty jars

and thats freezer [fridge] jam.  voila.

sweet potato muffins with strudel topping [no berries involved here].  frankly rather underwhelming.  and much more hassle than theyre worth.  and i even had the sweet potato precooked..

but the crowning glory of the night - blueberry muffins!  fresh picked blueberries and the "to die for" recipe.  pretty damn excellent.  i was too lazy to do two strusels and i had a bit of miss-measuring with the muffin portions.  but it worked out in the end.
