Blueberries are one of the absolute best fruits for baking. While some berries (I’m looking at you Strawberries) are incredibly delicious when eaten out of hand, their extreme juiciness and subtle flavor can be lost when mixed with other ingredients.
Blueberries, on the other hand, just get better when they meet the heat. Bake them into classic muffins or encase them in a cornmeal crust for the best pie ever!

Store the berries in the refrigerator in the original container. Do not wash the berries until you’re ready to use them.
You can also transfer the berries to a container lined with paper towels and refrigerate until you’re ready to eat them.
Blueberries will keep in the refrigerator for 10 days to 2 weeks.
How to Freeze Blueberries
Frozen blueberries work quite well in most recipes. You can freeze blueberries to use in drinks, smoothies or in baking recipes. Rinse the berries and dry them well. Place the blueberries in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet until they are completely frozen. Transfer to a covered container or freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
