Alright, let’s talk about them blueberry cherry cranberry things, you know, the little berries. I ain’t no fancy cook or nothin’, but I know what tastes good. And these berries, they sure do taste good together, I tell ya.
First off, them blueberries. They’re sweet, real sweet, like little bursts of sunshine in your mouth. My grandbabies, they love ’em. Can’t get enough of ’em, always stuffin’ their little faces. And they’re good for ya too, I hear. Keeps you healthy, gives you energy, like them city folk say. I don’t know nothin’ about that science stuff, but I know eatin’ fruits and veggies is important.
- Blueberries: Sweet and juicy, like little drops of sunshine.
- Cherries: Dark and kinda mysterious, with a little bit of a tang.
- Cranberries: Tart and zingy, wake you right up!
Then you got the cherries. Them dark ones, they’re somethin’ else. Not as sweet as the blueberries, got a bit of a tang to ’em. Makes your mouth pucker a little, but in a good way, you know? They remind me of summer, sittin’ on the porch, spittin’ out cherry pits. Ah, them were the days.
Now, the cranberries, them’s the real kicker. They’re sour, real sour, makes your face scrunch up somethin’ fierce. But they’re good for you, real good. Keeps your insides clean, or so they say. I don’t eat ’em straight, mind you. Too sour for this old lady. But mixed in with the blueberries and cherries, they’re just right. Balances out the sweetness, gives it a little zing.
I seen them city folk mixin’ these berries up in all sorts of ways. Pies, crumbles, jams, even them…what do they call ’em…smoothies? Sounds fancy, but it’s just blended up fruit, ain’t it? I stick to the basics myself. Throw ’em in a bowl with a little sugar, maybe some flour if I’m feelin’ fancy. Bake it in the oven till it’s bubbly and brown. Nothin’ fancy, just good eatin’.
And them berries, they ain’t just tasty, they’re packed with good stuff too. I heard someone talkin’ on the radio ’bout somethin’ called “antioxidents”. Sounded like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me, but they said it keeps you from gettin’ sick. And vitamins, too. Lots of vitamins. Keeps your body workin’ right, so you can keep on chuggin’ along. That’s what I need, at my age!
My neighbor, she makes this real good…what’s it called…a “crisp”? Yeah, a crisp! With them berries. She puts oats on top, makes it all crunchy. It’s real good with a scoop of ice cream, especially on a hot day. She give me the recipe once, but I lost it. Maybe I’ll ask her for it again. Or maybe I’ll just stick to my simple berry mix. It’s good enough for me.
So, that’s the lowdown on them blueberry cherry cranberry things. They’re sweet, they’re sour, they’re good for you, and they taste mighty fine together. Whether you’re eatin’ ’em plain, in a pie, or mixed up in some fancy city-folk concoction, you can’t go wrong. They’re just good berries, plain and simple. And that’s all there is to it.
And don’t you forget, wash ’em before you eat ’em! You never know where they’ve been. And that goes for all your fruits and veggies, mind you. Clean eatin’ is important, just like your mama always told ya.
Now, I’m gonna go make myself a bowl of them berries. All this talkin’ about ’em has got my mouth waterin’. You should try ’em too, you won’t be disappointed. They’re a little bit of heaven, right here on earth. That’s all there is to it, they’re just plain good.
