Equipment
- Colander
- Clean kitchen towels
- Sheet pan
- silicone liner or parchment paper
- Freezer bags or containers
Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh blueberries or any quantity
Instructions
- Rinse your fresh berries under cold water, then arrange them on a clean dish towel to air dry for several hours. (This will remove pollen, dirt, and debris, and once dried, the berries will not stick to each other in the bag.)
- Arrange clean berries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Place the entire tray in the freezer for an hour or two to freeze the berries solid.
- Remove the frozen berries from the freezer and transfer them to an airtight container, like vacuum seal bags, freezer-safe zip-top bags, etc.
- Label and freeze for 6 months to 1 year. Use as desired.
