"Every summer when visiting my grandparents' farm in Limington as a kid, Maine, a highlight was blueberry picking up on Sawyer's Mountain. We came home with many pails-full, and my grandmother would make all things blueberry from these, including muffins. (If real buttermilk isn't available, place 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar or lemon juice in bottom of a 1 cup measuring cup; add milk up to the 1 cup line; let sit for 10 minutes; then stir.)"
