Instructions

  • Wash blueberries and drain.
  • Place blueberries in a single layer on a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.
    Freeze Berries
  • Place in freezer until frozen, about 7 hours, or overnight.
  • Transfer berries to a sturdy plastic bag like a Ziploc bag or another freezer safe container.  If using a bag, squeeze most of the air out and store in freezer.  Those Twixit Clips that you see on the bag below are one of my most favorite kitchen tools.  I use them for all my plastic bag storage needs.
  • Frozen berries are best used within 6 months, but we've eaten some out of our deep freeze after a lot longer time than that!  
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Freezer tip: If you store food that you won't be using for a long time in a manual defrost freezer, you will avoid freezer burn more easily, and they will last longer.
