I wish this growing season had been kinder to our lingonberries.
I left them on the plants for as long as I dared...
but finally decided to harvest them before they fell off, rotted, were eaten
or we got a really hard freeze...
I LOVE lingonberries and couldn't bear to not try and save those I could.
Most of the itty bitty berries came off this bush--
it takes awhile to pick them as they are so small.
A few had already gone soft and bad,
some were still not fully ripe,
but still there are quite a few that are ripe.
Yield: about 1 cup of berries
Plan: perhaps a lingonberry whip or small pie.
Hope: that the 2012 harvest will be a better one-
for us
and more importantly,
for the PNW lingonberry farmers.
How's your Thanksgiving preparations going?
One week to go!
Blessings,
Aimee
Note: Balsgard lingonberries.

Thanks so much for taking time to leave a comment! I LOVE hearing from visitors and your comments most always leave a BIG smile on my face and sometimes a little giggle too! I do moderate comments to ensure a family friendly blog and also to catch any spam so your comment won't post immediately unless I am online at that time. However, I do check for comments regularly. If you don't see your comment post within a day or two, it's most often due to it being a Sunday (when I limit my Internet use) or, at times, a computer issue. Again thanks and have a GREAT day:)
