Apologies for suggesting this, but are you sure they are blueberries and not sloes, which are very sour?

It is about the right time for them, but if you are cooking them, it wont make any difference. Leave them in a bowl of apple juice overnight and then cook with them as usual. Add a small amount of extra sugar to the recipe and they will be fine.
Good luck xxx
ps blueberries left in a jar of syrup for a few days are LOVELY poured over pancakes, you can heat the syrup in the microwave!

Is that a rhetorical question? If they tasted sour, of course, it's too early to pick them.
