How to Freeze Blueberries
Pro-Tips for Success
- Avoid Clumping: Freezing them on a tray first ensures they stay loose and scoopable rather than freezing into a solid block.
- The “Bloom” Trick: You can skip washing them until right before you use them to preserve their natural, protective powdery coating (the bloom).
- Shelf Life: can be stored for up to 12 months.
Quick Step-by-Step
- Prep: Wash the blueberries and dry them thoroughly.
- Flash Freeze: Spread them in a single, uncrowded layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 2–4 hours.
- Store: Transfer to airtight freezer bags, squeeze out the excess air to prevent freezer burn, and label with the date.
