You have enough berries for a couple of batches of wine. I would make
wine with this and forget about blending it. Also, if you do make
blueberry wine don't use a recipe that calls for raisins. You'll end up
with better wine this way. Blueberry wine takes about a year to develope
its full flavor. If you drink it too soon it will taste bad.
