Blueberry Cookbook Giveaway

in giveaway

{Giveaway is Closed}

A very sweet reader in NC emailed me about their 7th annual Blueberry Festival that is held every year in Burgaw, NC.  And she also sent me a copy of their blueberry cookbook, which is chock full of great recipes using at least 1 cup of blueberries, retail value $18.

The festival began back in 2004 and recipes were collected over the years. Finally, enough recipes came together to compile a cookbook  with over 300 blueberry recipes.

I know many of you are berry fans also and would love to have a copy of this cookbook too, so she is graciously giving away 2 more copies to my readers.  All you have to do is leave a comment telling me your favorite way to eat blueberries.  If you don’t win, but would like to purchase a cookbook, you can call 910-259-9817 for all the details.

We LOVE blueberries in our family!  My parents have huge bushes up at their NC house and it’s a treat to go up there and pick this time of year.  In fact, we’ll be going up there very soon doing just that.  Blueberries are SO good for you too, you can’t eat too many of them.

OK, leave a comment and I’ll pick 2 winners for your very own copy of the NC Blueberry Festival Cookbook.

Three years ago I gave my mom blueberry bushes for Mother’s Day. They have grown beautifully and we all enjoy lots of delicious blueberries in the summer. Last year we were able to freeze a bunch. This cookbook would be a great way to help us use up all of the berries.

17 meghan July 17, 2010 at 9:26 pm

I love to eat blueberries in muffins, pancakes & bread.
Oh yum!
YUM!
YUM!
Yummers!

18 Wendy July 17, 2010 at 9:33 pm

I love to just eat blueberries “out of hand”, but last week I made a blueberry corncake that was delicious. I’d clipped the recipe from a magazine years ago and never got around to making it. Now it’ll be a go-to recipe for company or whenever!

19 Norma July 17, 2010 at 9:40 pm

I love blueberries and I love new cookbooks. So this would be wonderful to win…..

20 Glenna July 17, 2010 at 9:48 pm

22 Wanda P. July 17, 2010 at 10:14 pm

I love eating blueberries in yogurt with walnuts.

23 Shirley Coshatt July 17, 2010 at 10:23 pm

I remember growing up in NE Pennsylvania going out picking wild blueberries with my grandfather. I don’t know if I ate more in the field or put more in my basket but it was pretty close. I love blueberry muffins, pie, cake, cobbler, betty and any other way to use them. I also love blueberries with milk and sugar on them. It’s amazing that something so good is also good for you.

24 Susan July 17, 2010 at 10:58 pm

First choice is fresh like candies. Better for you and less calories too.
Second is in a bowl with a dash of cream poured over (I have lots of willpower as I never use it!)
Third is a blueberry torte
Fourth is in a batch of muffins

We have three small bushes that produce all summer… but we share them with the deer!

PS I live on the west coast of Canada… but my daughter lives in NC! Can’t wait to come and see the state first hand…

We are blueberry crazy here! I put at least 30 quarts in the freezer every summer, and that’s not counting the ones we eat while picking or the ones we use to make muffins, blueberry crisp or jam! Would love to have a new cookbook!

33 Leslie July 18, 2010 at 10:07 am

I keep fresh blueberries in the freezer. For breakfast, I make hot oatmeal, and put frozen blueberries on top. You get hot along with frozen in every bite! YUM. Also put frozen blueberries in cereal & they keep the milk ice cold til the end!

You’re making me wanna visit grandparents in NC! :)

36 Kelso July 18, 2010 at 11:22 am

Straight off the bush! My 13 year old just brought home over a gallon of them the other day. We ate till we were almost sick! I freeze most to use in baking and smoothies, but we love to just eat them as a treat.

37 Renee Richardson July 18, 2010 at 11:43 am

44 La July 18, 2010 at 2:18 pm

I’m not sure there is a way I don’t like blueberries. Pancakes, muffins or just by the handful…it’s all yummy!

45 Lynda July 18, 2010 at 2:19 pm

I love them freshly picked from our orchard and blended in my smoothie. Yum!

46 Janelle July 18, 2010 at 2:50 pm

My grandparents had a huge blueberry patch, so we ate a lot of blueberries in the summertime. My favorite is blueberry muffins–the King Arthur Flour baking book has a fantastic recipe!

47 DogsMom July 18, 2010 at 3:47 pm

I like them in Muffins, but they are the DH’s favorite fruit. He has them on cereal or oatmeal, buys the bread the local Amish make with them, will eat them raw or frozen.

48 Sylvia Hix July 18, 2010 at 3:51 pm

I love blueberries anything! Jam, muffins, nothing better!

49 Shannon July 18, 2010 at 5:02 pm

Mmmmm…I love blueberries. My favorite way to eat them is to mix about 2 tbsp sugar with half a block of cream cheese. spread it onto refridgerated crescent rolls that have been separated into 4 rectangles. Top with blueberries and fold up the corners. Bake until golden! Yum!

50 mary July 18, 2010 at 6:23 pm

52 stacey July 18, 2010 at 8:11 pm

My 7 year old granddaughter lives with us and her eyes are the color of blueberries. They are her favorite fruit. We enjoy them in EVERYTHING! Last night it was panna cotta with fresh blueberries and sliced apricots…heavenly. She and I would love a blueberry cookbook to cook from.

53 stacey July 18, 2010 at 8:13 pm

63 Sherry July 19, 2010 at 2:01 pm

Blueberries are my favorite! My husbands grandmother had a blueberry farm and for years we had a couple of bushes from the farm. They were always loaded with berries. We had to leave our last bush when we made our last move, we are starting over with tiny bushes. Blueberries by the handful is my favorite way to eat them.

64 Toni July 19, 2010 at 5:22 pm

I just love blueberry crumble and it’s even yummier warm with vanilla ice cream.
