Can you freeze Blueberries?
Yes. Blueberries keeps 8–12 months in the freezer when stored in airtight packaging.
Freeze blueberries dry and unwashed — washing beforehand toughens the skins — and rinse them only when you're ready to use them. Spread them on a tray to freeze individually, then pour into bags so they stay free-flowing. They keep 8–12 months. Add them straight from frozen to muffins, pancakes, and smoothies; thawed berries soften and bleed their juice.
