To properly freeze blueberries, follow these simple steps:
-
Spread them on a baking sheet: Arrange the blueberries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps prevent them from clumping together during freezing.
-
Pre-freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the blueberries pre-freeze for about 1-2 hours. This step prevents the berries from sticking together and ensures they freeze individually.
-
Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container: Once the blueberries are pre-frozen, transfer them into a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Squeeze out any excess air from the bag before sealing it tightly. Label the bag with the date of freezing for easy identification.
-
Store in the freezer: Place the bag or container of blueberries in the coldest part of your freezer. They can be stored for up to 6-12 months.
By following these steps, you can freeze blueberries properly, ensuring they maintain their quality and freshness for future use in smoothies, baking, or snacks all year long.
