Mmmm…Second Annual Blueberry Bake-Off Winners Named

June 13, 2010

It was a blueberry lover’s dream Saturday at the second annual Blueberry Jamboree Bake-Off  at the Barrineau Park Community Center.

Dozens of cooks entered their tasty pies, cobblers, cakes and other blueberry goodies in hopes of winning cash prizes in the contest sponsored by the Escambia County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee. There was one basic rule — the homemade dessert must have included blueberries as an ingredient.

After the tempting treats were judged and the winners were announced, the public had the opportunity to sample the entries.

The winners of the second annual Blueberry Jamboree Bake-Off were:

Cake Division
1st place Melissa Collier – White Chocolate Cheesecake
2nd place Lukas Snelson – Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake
3rd place Cathy Vanderpol – Vlueberry Sour Cream Pound Cake

Bread, Puddings and Other division
1st place Shelly Olsousky – Blueberry Yum Yum
2nd place Sharon Meharg – Blueberry Pizza
3rd place – Paul Schwartz – Zucchini Blueberry Nut Bread

Pies and Cobbler division
1st place Sabrena Padgett – Double Bottom Blueberry Lemon Supreme Pie
2nd place Cathy Vanderpol – Blueberry Cherry Pie
3rd place Cathy King – Bursting Berries & Orchard Fruit Pie

    Is there somewhere to write to obtain a copy of this year’s cookbook – I couldn’t attend the Jamboree this year, but would sure like a copy of the cookbook. Last’s year’s cookbook had some wonderful recipes.

    There are more photos of more goodies in the Blueberry Jamboree photo gallery at:

    The yummy food photos are scattered throughout the gallery. Our photos were taken in the morning before the judging; I’m not sure of the names of the items in our photos.

    The recipes from last year were compiled in to a cookbook that was sold at this year’s event. Not sure if they will do that with this year’s recipes.
