Day 21 of Jacob's Journey: The Great Blueberry Festival and Bakeoff

Day 21 of Jacob's Journey: The Great Blueberry Festival and Bakeoff
Image via ButteredUp.com July 20, 1819 Along the outskirts of Philadelphia, Pioneer and I stumbled upon a sweet surprise. For summer is blueberry season, and the city was putting on a big to-do called the Great Blueberry Festival and Bakeoff. Why, there were pies, cakes, cobblers, iced tea and all manner of things blueberry. Who would gander that a down-home gathering could be organized around this one food? I tried so many blueberry goodies that I don't doubt my tongue will be stained purple until September! After tasting so many treats it was tougher than boot leather to choose a favorite, but I finally chose one that can be baked in my very own Legendary Bread Pan: the Double Blueberry Cake, a succulent loaf that was topped with a lemony blueberry sauce. Mmmmmm! If you want to try this cake out for yerself, click here for the recipe from Buttered-Up.com. Happy blueberry pickin' and eatin'!
