Yesterday we took another trip to the blueberry farm. It was our fourth trip this season and we didn't stay long. We got a late start leaving home so there were a lot of screaming children and loud conversations in the field; not the peaceful experience I enjoy most. We picked six pounds of berries and headed home.P, of course, wanted to do some baking. We had made a plum pie the night before with fruit from our tree so I didn't want to make another pie. I pulled out my blueberry cookbook and started flipping through it. I found this recipe for Blueberry Gingerbread. It looked interesting enough to try and actually tasted quite good.
