We ...Like you, we make picking an annual tradition! We weren't able to make it this year during the picking season, so my parents picked and delivered (bless them!). We buy (ours were $1.20/lb) and freeze for the rest of the year as well! I just froze raspberries, too! :)<br /><br />We just enjoyed our berries over some easy shortcakes (they can be baked ahead and frozen as well!):<br /><br />http://macombmoneysavers.blogspot.com/2009/07/recipe-berry-shortcakes.htmlBargains to Bountyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151207861710376233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557578890468859323.post-78669118377472644462009-07-28T05:48:05.736-05:002009-07-28T05:48:05.736-05:00You can wash & then freeze.

You can then freeze them on the sheets. It is much harder to wash them AFTER frozen, in my opinion. Love the pics & your blog!Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557578890468859323.post-13849166205402225832009-07-27T23:22:41.012-05:002009-07-27T23:22:41.012-05:00It's more Southwest I guess you'd say...It...It's more Southwest I guess you'd say...It's called Tammen Treeberry Farm in Essex, IL. Their site is http://www.tammentreeberryfarm.net/btammen/ You can use Mapquest for directions. Looks like it may be a 2 hr drive for you. But if you have a day to kill and want to have fun...check it out!<br /><br />Definitely call before going. They get soo many people that I'm not sure they'll make it past this weekend.<br /><br />Lovely owners and workers. We go there every year. The sandbox is a little smaller and only a couple swings but it's better than nothing at all. <br /><br />If you want to make a day of it, check out the park in Godley http://www.il66redcarpetcorridor.org/godley.html Lovely! They even have deer that will come up to you through the fence! :) Great toddler area and older kids area right by each other. I assure you, you and the kids will LOVE it! Peaceful, clean and great equipment. About 15 minutes or so from the blueberry farm. But worth the drive! <br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />~Jayciecoupongeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088920324732655777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557578890468859323.post-49720838778742417962009-07-27T23:00:48.210-05:002009-07-27T23:00:48.210-05:00Hi dear I live in Chicago Northwest)area (Old irvi...Hi dear I live in Chicago Northwest)area (Old irving Park)wich location did you go I have 4 kids and will like to go the location with thesandbox and swings.TIA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
