C
Billy always loved blueberries. Today he was going to make juice with his uncle. His uncle liked to make juice out of everything. He made carrot juice, apple juice, vegetable juice, and many more kinds of juices. He'd never made blueberry juice before.
First, Billy and his uncle went to a blueberry farm. They picked for an hour and got some blueberries. It was hard work picking the little berries from the trees. Now Billy understood why they are expensive in stores.
Next, they had to wash the fruit and dry it. After that, they put the berries into the blender and then turned on the blender. When the blueberries turned into dark purple juice, they turned off the blender and poured the juice into a pot.
When they tasted the juice, they could really taste the blueberries. But it wasn't very sweet. They added grape juice to the blueberry juice. Billy's uncle didn't want to add white sugar from a bag to the berries. It was better to use a naturally sweet juice, like apple juice, pear juice, or grape juice. They used grape juice, because the grapes had a similar color to the blueberries.
Finally, they could drink it. It was a lot of work to make the juice, but it tasted so nice!
