If you have a large amount of blueberries that you want to store for later use, you can freeze them. Here’s how:
1. Rinse the blueberries under running water and pick out any stems, leaves, or moldy berries.
2. Lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will prevent the blueberries from sticking together during freezing.
3. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the blueberries to freeze completely, which should take a few hours.
4. Once the blueberries are frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Be sure to label the container with the date and contents.
5. Store the blueberries in the freezer for up to 6 months. When you’re ready to use them, simply thaw them in the refrigerator or use them frozen in recipes such as smoothies or muffins.
Follow these steps to freeze blueberries successfully after harvesting.
