Yesterday was National Blueberry Picking Day, and we are big fans of blueberries here. My grandmother used to have 150 blueberry bushes and would sell to the local bakeries and restaurants.
If you came to visit, you were given a
bucket and a row and strict instructions on picking. Roll the berries between your thumb and first finger,
but don't take off the blue "frost." Pick one bush clean before moving
on. And heaven help you if you picked a red or white one!
My dad ended up with a dozen of the bushes in the 80s, and we'll be moving those bushes to our new home this fall. This year our berries are running a little late, so I stopped by a local farm and picked some up to make this recipe.
I used whole milk instead of 2%, it's what we keep in the house. As I was putting the ingredients together, I kept thinking, "The guys are going to devour this, I really should double it". Mine did take about 8 minutes past the time range, but I need to test my oven temperature.

If it's still not done and the topping is browning too quickly, tent it with foil. Thank you so much to Dianne V. for sharing her recipe, next time I will definitely make two pans, this one went too fast.
