Equipment

  • Colander/strainer
  • Large towels Bath towels or beach towels work great, just be sure to use something that you don't care about as it can stain.
  • Gallon size Zip lock bags
  • Sharpie marker or other permanent marker to label the bags.

Ingredients

  • 10 pounds blueberries or however many you'd like.

Instructions

  • Rinse the berries in a strainer under cold water.
  • Gently lay the blueberries out on top of large towels on the countertop to air dry.
  • Once the blueberries are dry, place them in the labeled and dated freezer bags, lay flat in the freezer.

Notes

Nutrition information is based on a 1/2 cup serving of blueberries.
Blueberries are the easiest fruit to freeze. Just be sure they are dry before you bag them up. They will automatically freeze individually, like a flash freeze. This makes it easy to measure as little or as much as you need for a recipe. 
Don't overstuff the bags, and lay flat in the freezer to store.
