Bad me!! Doesn't matter, because I have it now!! I'm a little obsessed with all things blueberry at the moment. I found out last year that blueberries just plain don't grow here, they hate the soil. Soooo, yesterday I ordered two container blueberry plants, and I'm going to grow my own in pots!! I'm so excited!! This will be a perfect recipe for my new baby blueberries! :)Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419620659567929127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-15153551535410378502013-06-09T12:31:47.615+01:002013-06-09T12:31:47.615+01:00hi Marie, I just found this recipe on your blog......hi Marie, I just found this recipe on your blog...how'd I miss it before?

Go with me to Poland next summer and ...Oh, Marie... Go with me to Poland next summer and I will show you in forest - circa 40 miles from Warsaw - wild blueberry fields(in mountains they are even bigger). They belong to the same 'family', but their taste, smell and even colour are much more intense and reacher, altough they are much smaller than their American or garden sisters; even their bushes aren't higher than 1 foot - 15''<br />During an hour or so an adult can fill 10-litre bucket; locals even use a special tool - a cross of a scoop and comb. And the berries dye your hands, lips, tonque and teeth... No, you cannot compare garden blueberries with forest ones, called 'bilberries'in the UK (you can buy plants from some garden centres, but they need forest conditions in your garden). I miss them a lot, although you can buy them frozen in Polish shops in UK, but it's not the same.<br />Polish name for them is "czarna jagoda" (black berry)or "borowka" (a daughter of the forest), and they are used for two traditional Polish dishes: "pierogi z jagodami" (boiled dumplings, filled with berries and some sugar), served warm with sour or clouded cream for lunch or dinner, and "jagodzianki" (sweet buns with bilberry filling). They also have well-proved medical qualities as a drug in diabetes and gastro problems.<br />By the way, Poland (as well as Germany and all Central and Eastern Europe) has one more atraction for you - sour cherries. They have own name in Slawonic languages: "wisnia", while sweet cheries are called 'czeresnia' (the same 'root' as in cherry). They are cheaper than sweet cherries and are sold in markets - like strawberries - in 5-pound wooden baskets. They are very popular and Poles grow them in their gardens and allotments.
