Any good recipe ideas for July 4th?

<p>Sorry, actually that’s not the one at all. I hate crumb tops and that has waaaay too much cornstarch. It was much closer to this one: [Blueberry</a> Pie Recipe With Picture - Joyofbaking.com <em>Tested Recipe</em>](<a href=“Page Not Found- Joyofbaking.com”>Blueberry Pie - Joyofbaking.com *Video Recipe*)</p>

<p>I used my own pie crust recipe, though this one looks fine. The pie innards are the same except I add half a teaspoon of cinnamon and a hint of grated nutmeg. I had 2/3 cup of sugar, but I think it would have been sweet enough with a little less.</p>

<p>TY- abasket and mathmom ! You all must know that Hammonton, NJ is big producer of blueberries and we are 30 minutes away. Blueberries are selling for 99cents a pint now.</p>

<p>The cherries are ripe this past week so this weekend we made : pancakes with cherries, cherry ice cream, cherry pie & finally cherry & pecan bread. Then I froze a bunch 'cause shortly we’ll all be sick of cherries and the frozen ones will be wonderful in the dead of winter. Somehow I snagged a decent watermelon which was a nice change from the cherries. On to the blueberries, the peaches and finally the apples. Gotta love this time of year! I’m making the popper dip next time I need a hot dip. Yum, a nice change up from the typical artichokes.</p>

<p>We do a lot of things right here in Lancaster County- our sweet corn is wonderful, our tomatoes are legendary, and overall our produce is outstanding. If I want blueberries, however, there is nowhere like Hammonton, NJ!!! I hate when the season moves up the coast. I want my NJ blueberries.</p>

<p>Someone else brought watermelon to the July 4th dinner, it was horrible. I didn’t bother to finish my slice. </p>

<p>I wish our blueberries were so cheap. They cross the border and double the price. :(</p>

<p>The jalapeno recipe looks very good …as does the pasta salad, but what is EVOO?</p>

<p>I ended up making a patriotic trifle. Kind of like this … [Summer</a> Berry Trifle Recipe | Summer Snacks | FamilyFun](<a href=“http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/summer-berry-trifle-683851/]Summer”>http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/summer-berry-trifle-683851/)</p>

<p>but my included red and blue jello as well. It was a big hit.</p>

<p>EVOO = Extra Virgin Olive Oil - it took me forever to figure that one out.</p>

<p>Ohhhhh! I know what that is! Thanks Mathmom!</p>

<p>Kansas Girl, can that trifle be made in a regular bowl, or must it be a trifle bowl?
Did it get soggy?
I wanted to make something very similar for the weekend, but backed out because I wasn’t sure about the bowl.</p>

<p>If you love blueberries and can’t get good ones locally then I suggest the frozen wild blueberries at TJ’s. They’re from Canada. They are really superb. I rarely find better ones fresh.</p>

<p>SouthJerseyChessmom - the recipe even said it could be made in a different kind of dish. I think it would work fine. My recipe said to serve immediately, but I made, put in fridge for three or so hours and served and it was fine. IN fact, served a couple more a couple hours later and it was fine. It did not get soggy.</p>

<p>^^^ thanks Kansasgirl, will be trying it soon.</p>
