Ingredients
- 3 pints fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Rinse blueberries in a strainer. Pick out any stems and remove any moldy, smashed or wrinkly looking berries.
- Spread the blueberries on a clean dish towel and let them dry for a bit. If you're feeling impatient, you can give them a little roll on the dish towel or pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Once the blueberries are dry, spread them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. I like to line my sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper. It keeps them from sticking as they freeze.
- Spread them in an even layer. Place the entire sheet pan into the freezer. Keep it in there until the blueberries are frozen solid, about 3 hours. They’ll be like little pebbles that are individually frozen, and that’s exactly what we’re going for.
- Remove the frozen blueberries from the sheet pan and place into a labeled, freezer safe bag like a zip top baggie or silicone reusable bag.
Notes
Moldy berries go into the trash. The wrinkly or cracked berries can still be used! Try using the overripe blueberries in berry compote!
You can freeze as many or as few blueberries as you'd like. The recipe powers that be made me assign a specific amount :)
