I told you we picked a lot of blueberries. In fact, the tart and ice cream were attempts to use what was left AFTER all the jam. All in all I made about 14 jars worth of blueberry jam, in three different flavor combinations. I've realized I like to make jam much more than I like to eat jam. It's a problem. Attention, loved ones (you know who you are), please pretend to be surprised when you receive a box full of jam and preserves in a few months, probably more than you really want or need. Merry Christmas, I love you, now go make some toast. Of course, I'm not just going to make plain old blueberry jam (boooring!) So I sat down and gazed lovingly at my overflowing buckets and started brainstorming unique blueberry companions. These three won out in the end. Lime? Bright and tangy. Blackberry? Knock you out, good (and this black-and-blue is so much better than a bruise). Honey lavender? Like a spa treatment in a jar (also: I'm resigned to the fact that I will NEVER spell lavender right
