How To Freeze Blueberries
Learn how to freeze blueberries with this super simple tutorial, so you can enjoy them all year long!
Ingredients
- 5 lbs blueberries or more
Instructions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Gently take handfuls of the ripe blueberries and place them into the freezer-safe containers, sorting through them as you place them into the container. Remove any debris, leaves, sticks, or green berries.
- Fill up the container and then remove as much air as possible. Seal shut.
- Place in the freezer or deep freezer. I like to lay mine flat.
Notes
- Store up to 10-12 months in the freezer.
- Make sure your blueberries are dry. If they are wet, they will stick together when freezing.
- If you don't have a blueberry farm near you to pick, you could buy them from the store during the summer when prices are cheapest.
- Purchasing straight from a farm in bulk may also save money.
- Store them flat in plastic zip-lock bags.
- While washing is not required, if you would like to wash your berries before freezing, follow the instructions in the post.
- Each gallon sized freezer bag will hold about 4 pounds of blueberries.
