What the best way to freeze blueberries? There are tons of them right now and pretty cheap, so I'd like to save for later. Any other freezable fruit out there?

Re: Freezing blueberries
Rinse them and let them dry then spread out on a cookie sheet and freeze them. Once they are frozen or mostly frozen, put them in a freezer bag. If you freeze them individually like this, you aren't stuck with a big frozen chunks of berries. You can do the same with any berries.

Re: Freezing blueberries
We froze a bunch of strawberries earlier this spring. We use them for smoothies, too. They get used up all too fast that way.
I also use the blueberries in pancakes and muffins, or even just a granola, berries & cream mix for a different breakfast.

Originally posted by Vishenka69Thanks. Now I'll be taking suggestion as to what to do with all the stuff in my freezer while I'm freezing strawberries and blueberries. How long does it usually take? I could potentially move all the meat and ice cream down to the fridge overnight.
The cookie sheet method would definitely waste fewer bags, though!Married to a hematopathologist seven years out of training.

Re: Freezing blueberries
When all the kids were home we froze about 40-50 pounds a year the super lazy way. Go to the Upick farm the day after a rain storm then they were clean enough.
Set up assembly line on counter with big bowl of berries and quart size ziplocs and a straw. berries in, lay flat on counter so they will stack well in freezer, zip up except for straw, suck out air and seal. lay flat in freezer.
Always worked well and they were gone by March.
Yumm - must go berry picking after next rain.
