Ingredients

Instructions

  • Rinse your blueberries in a colander/strainer.
    1 blueberries
  • Place rinsed berries on a clean towel and bloat them dry with another towel.
  • Place a piece of parchment on a rimmed baking sheet and lay berries on top. Use the space efficiently, but try not to let them touch too much.
  • Optional: Lay another piece of parchment on top of the berries and top with an additional layer of berries. You can do up to three layers on the same baking sheet before it becomes precarious.
  • Allow the blueberries to freeze through (1.5-2 hours) and then transfer to a freezer-proof storage container.

Notes

  1. Berries are good in the freezer for 6-12 months.
  2. Using canning jars:
    • 8 oz jam jars = 1 cup berries
    • 32 oz quart jars = 4 cups berries
    • 16 oz pint jars = 2 cups berries
