Part 6
The next morning the Heartfelts awoke to a new day and a fridge full of blueberries. Red hadn't slept all that well because she kept thinking. " Why did Jimmy plant so many blueberry bushes?" She figured that Margaret would need a lot for her pies, but how many could she use?
The recipe from Jordon Marsh didn't state what kind of blueberries, just blueberries.
This must be it, Red thought, Jimmy was using only hi-bush blueberries from around Squam Lake! Maybe it had something to do with the moisture from the lake, the south facing slope or what some say is ancient volcanic soil. Whatever it is, it produces the sweetest berries. Jimmy must have planted so many bushes so that future generations would be able to enjoy these blueberries.
Being an honest guy, Jimmy had tried to explain this to Freddy. But Freddy dismissed him saying,"Look kid, I'm a business man. I get my blueberries from who ever is cheapest, Maine, Canada or Pluto..... I don't care.....Blueberries is Blueberries."
Red had figured out the Muffin Man's Secret, now it's time to put all that fruit to good use!.Clear the decks, there is baking to be done!
To Be Continued............
P.S. Join us next time for the exciting conclusion of the Muffin Man's Secret!
