Blueberry Love

This year's crop of wild blueberries was absolutely amazing!  Have you ever wondered why these little pea-sized wild blueberries taste so much sweeter than the fat domestic grocery-store variety?  The secret is in the skin.  The flavor "cells" are in the skin and wild blueberries have a much higher ratio of skin to pulp than domestics and therefore are sweeter overall.  Mmm good!
