Tips and Tricks:

To pick, hold the cluster in your hand and gently roll your thumb over the berries; ripe berries will separate from the plant.

Sort out twigs and leaves prior to refrigerating. 

Blueberries may be placed in deep containers during picking and storing.

Do not wash until ready to use or process. Will keep in refrigerator up to two weeks.

Freeze like a pro:

Don't wash your berries until you use them. This will help prevent spoilage.

Remove overly soft fruit, stems, and leaves. Be gentle with the fruit.

Drop berries in cold water and swish for 10 seconds before draining. Dry on towels.

Place berries on a lined cookie sheet with space around each. Freeze for 30 min.

Transfer to a seal-able container and freeze completely. Enjoy for up to a year.

Minnesota's state muffin is blueberry!
