Last Saturday we went berry picking at Driediger Farms in Langley. We picked strawberries, which were really close to being at the end of their season, and raspberries, which are just at the beginning of their season. We also grabbed four pounds of blueberries; already picked… we must have come home with almost 15 pounds of berries for about $21. It was quite hot, I might have given myself heat stroke and a strangely shaped burn on my back, but the berries were delicious!
We made the trip extra worthwhile by stopping by A Bread Affair and picking up my favourite bread (The 100-Mile = organic, blueberries, hazelnuts – YUMMY). I never rave about anyone else’s baking so that is saying something!
I immediately made this with the strawberries:
Which when cooked and half-eaten looks like this:
I am currently cooking down the remaining blueberries and raspberries to make another bar. Will post pictures and the full recipe later on today.
