Blueberry Recipe Index
1 pint fresh blueberries equals 2 cups.
1 (10-ounce) package frozen blueberries equals 1 1/2 cups.
During the summer blueberries ripen from June through August depending on the variety.
Take advantage of this delicious berry by freezing some for the winter. Pulling out summer blueberries in the winter to make muffins, pancakes, waffles or pie is a real treat.
Unwashed blueberries will stay fresh for up to two weeks in the refrigerator if kept dry.
If a recipe calls for a can of blueberries, you may make your own by using 2-1/2 cups of fresh blueberries, 1 tablespoon of corn starch, 1-1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice, and 1/8 cup of water. Cook until thickened and clear. Cool before using as a substitute.
Freezing Blueberries: Place dry, unwashed, and unsweetened berries in freezing containers or plastic bags. Seal and freeze. The berries will freeze individually and pour out like marbles.
Tip: When using frozen blueberries in your baking, do not thaw them. Always add them frozen so they will not “bleed” in your baked goods.

Almost Homemade Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes
