anchadian Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I'm pretty sure you wont find blueberries cheaper than B300 a kilo anywhere in Thailand. Why not go for raspberries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Brian , you got there before me. 3kg berries mashed in food processor, 9 litres water, 3kg sugar, squeeze of lemon, packet of Wine yeast. Two weeks, strain & rack off, a further two weeks, into old beer bottles and crown capped. Leave for 6 months IF YOU CAN !

Makro sells a bag of pre mixed frozen berries.....That also works good.. Edited March 25, 2023 by redwood1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like mulberries. If eating for nutritional value, the Mulberries have the edge. I just like blueberries better, and the ones available frozen at Makro are tasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days have plenty, so mid morning go out and pick and eat them fresh from the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal65 Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Thanks for the mulberries suggestion, I just read online they are sweet. Will check out Makro today. When I switched from strawberries to blueberries in my daily oatmeal I cheated less (on my food not a girl). So my barometer for a good fruit is taste based, with berries at the top of the pack for nutritional value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat the blueberries with my morning cereal also, added still frozen. Strawberries I usually add frozen to yogurt, or un, to pancakes or waffles. Yesterday's sweet tooth fix, adding more strawberries after that contractual photo ... ???? L' Cafe LA Edited March 25, 2023 by KhunLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal65 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Yeah I've tried the Makro mulberries. They add a bit of sweetness but are mostly bland. Blueberries are sweet and flavorful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
