where the wild fruits are


I have the privilege of vacationing on Martha's Vineyard every summer- I had a great-great grandfather who purchased the land that has since been passed down through generations. It's an ideal pastoral retreat that is abundant in all forms of vegetation, including wild blueberry bushes.


Have you ever eaten wild blueberries before? They're much smaller than their grocery store counterpart, and thus much more tart and flavorful. Elise Ruby loved picking wild blueberries with her cousins, as I did when I was growing up (and still do!). Of course the wild blueberries beg to be eaten right off the bush, but if you can muster the strength to save about a cup, then you can make this fancy/easy tart.
