[AT] Melting it all down.(copper is the new gold)

[William Powell]

Straying from the topic now... 

I find that our huckleberries in NY (tug hill plateau) are very tart. They
seem to do well in the soil there which is mossy and spent, more rocks than
dirt. The berries are tiny, none larger than a pea, and some even as small
as a bb. The smallness makes them well suited for pancakes. The batter cooks
well around the berries, unlike the blueberries I get from NJ which are
large and make pancake cooking difficult. The pies are tart, but
spectacular. 

I usually pick a gallon to take home to PA. Then, I freeze them and thaw out
a handful from time to time for Pancakes. 

Also on the berry topic... I'm in Southeast PA and my property is lined with
wild raspberries and blackberries. The bushes have taken over on the
perimeter of my grass areas. The Raspberries are usually ripe by the 4th of
July, I did not get to them in time this year and the birds had a nice meal.
The blackberries are just turning black so I just picked a quart today.  Boy
are they tasty!

Regards,

Will Powell (PA)

Wow, I can't imagine not liking huckleberries (blueberries).  There are a
couple of big blueberry farms here.  I've been eating them regularly for
about a month now.  The other day for lunch I had a bowl of Special K with
red berries (freeze dried strawberries) topped with a handful of
blueberries, a sliced up bannana and a sliced up fresh peach and of course
milk.  Man was it good.
