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.

 4th
of July Bursting Blueberry Pie
The
following recipe is from my daughter, Nancy Hartman. She made
this wonderful Blueberry Pie for our 4th of July camping trip this year.
She uses the propane oven in her camping trailer. This blueberry pie is so good that I think
she should enter it in the Pillsbury Bake Off. What do you think?
Almost Homemade Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes
This is my take on using boxed pancake mix and making it more homemade
tasting. I make these pancakes ahead of time, freeze them, and then always
have them in the freezer for my husband and grandkids. I don't eat pancakes,
but this way my husband can have pancakes whenever he want them.
