My Dad brought me over a big bag of fresh blueberries....?

Question

We like to eat them but there are so many, I dont know much about Recipes with Blueberries. So any ideas of what I can make, freeze etc would be so much appreciated.

Answer 1

Drizzle over vanilla ice cream whole, or crush them up first. Or make blueberry ice cream.

How about blueberry sorbet? This one can be mixed with other fruits.

Add to breakfast cereal.

Smoothie with milk, banana, and whatever else you've got laying around.

Cobbler. or Pie. With half the sugar they tell you to add - if they are real good fresh blueberries, the flavor will burst right out without so much sugar. Or mix with pears or peaches. Wait a minute while I wipe the drool off my chin....

Making jam or preserves is great, but can be time consuming, and you may not have much time. Search on the internet for "blueberry jam" or "blueberry preserves".

Answer 3

Fresh blueberries are awesome! If you want to freeze them, wash them and let them air dry for about a 1/2 hour, lay them on a cookie sheet in a single layer and freeze them for about an hour or 2. Empty the frozen berries into a freezer bag or container and store in freezer until you are ready to use them. Blueberry crisp, muffins, pancakes...the possibilities are ENDLESS! Wish I had some fresh blueberries right about now! I'm jealous! Enjoy and good luck!

Answer 4

Here's something quick and easy and really good.
Cut an apple and a banana into small dice, about the same size as the blueberries. Sprinkle with lemon or lime juice and some cinnamon, then add an equal amount of blueberries. You can serve it as a salad or a dessert. You can serve it with yogurt sweetened with a little honey. Lucky you, to have such a nice Dad.

Answer 5

Freeze them: wash lightly and tenderly, put on paper towel to dry completely, put in ziplock bag and put in freezer. You can toss them frozen into things you are baking, like cake, muffins or into pancakes.

OR:

Blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins (both of these can be frozen - for the pancakes, after they cool, wrap in plastic wrap or something and put in a ziplock bag in the freezer. Then in the morning when you're in a hurry, just put them in the microwave for a minute or two, oh so good); blueberry pie, blueberry preserves, blueberry cake, blueberries in your cereal, blueberries in fruit salad (with peaches, especially yummy), blueberry cobbler. Look up recipies on-line.

Answer 6

This is the easiest and best blueberry pie ever and because it doesn't go in the oven, you really get a fresh blueberry taste an not a jam taste.

Answer 7

Yes you can freeze them I come from the blueberry state of maine and the will keep for months

Answer 8

You can freeze the fresh berries too, just bag them up in freezer bags. This way you have blueberries for months. Try making blueberry muffins, use them in smoothies, in parfaits, pies, cobblers, ice cream... go crazy!

Answer 9

You can use them as a topping on a cake. My sister and I make a 4th of July cake with blueberries and strawberries and Cool Whip. We use a vanilla cake, then we put on some Cool Whip... on top of that we put the B and S berries, them more cool whip and on the top we made the flag, but you don't have to make the flag, .....it all tastes really good together! YUM!

Answer 10

Apple- candy like a slice of blueberry pie yet isn't full of sodium and those man made sugars. Pretzels- too lots salt in my determination. Pie- never had any. i do no longer even like blueberrys yet a sucker for the pecan one.
