Nearly all of my childhood Fourth of July holidays were spent at my grandparents lake house. There was much swimming, boating, hamburger-eating, and firework-shooting, but also blueberry-picking at a nearby farm. For me (and many Southerners, I'm sure), blueberries and the Fourth of July are one-in-the-same.
Now, my granddad -- Pop -- has a yard-full of blueberry bushes that he offers up to anyone with an empty bucket to fill. The last time I checked, they were nearly in (above photo). I have go-to cobbler recipe, but this year, I think I'm going to branch out a bit. The top contenders are ...
Smitten Kitchen's Blueberry Crumb Bars
Martha Stewart's Blueberry and Buttermilk Tart
Cooking Light's Lemon-Scented Blueberry Cupcakes
How about you? Have any summer memories or blueberry recipes to share?

I do have a wonderful blueberry pie recipe! I will have to email it to you when I get home. Don't have the recipe here! All of those look wonderful though!
Hi, Jennifer, we love our blueberries too & are so excited to have our own bushes growing in our frontyard now. We are getting a few this year, so happy about that.
All these recipes look fantastic, esp. that Martha one. Yum!
You'll have to check out Morgan Creek, it really is fun with the concerts and fireworks.
My family's summer fave was always blackberry cobbler made by my mom. I still have to have it every summer!
Oh looks yummy. I never really liked blueberries before. I actually had never tried them until recently.
I started eating them, because they were low in cals and so good for you and I'm now hooked.
Yummy. I'm dying for those blueberry crumb cake. Oh I want some, but it's probably not that healthy! :)
Okay I must have something with blueberries now!
I made the blueberry lemon cupcakes last night. Loved them!
