Recipe Tip
Along with lobsters, rugged coastlines and pine trees, Maine is known for its abundance of blueberries. As well as growing wild, these small juicy berries are cultivated with ninety-eight percent of the low bush variety of blueberries being grown in Maine. Combine these tiny flavored packed berries with New England staples, maple and cornbread, and you have a quick bread that can’t be matched!
