Storing and Preparing Blueberries
Blueberries have a fairly long shelf life, they will last up to a week in the fridge (sometimes longer) do not wash until ready to use. Before using them make sure there are no small stems or leaves by placing them in a bath of water (generally leaves and stems will float). Or pick out pieces by hand. To freeze blueberries put a thin layer of them on a cookie sheet and place them in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer container (Ziploc or Tupperware) and back into the freezer. This way they will stay separate and you will be able to take out the quantity you want to use instead of thawing a huge block of blueberries. |
