Stocking The Freezer With Blueberries

A few weeks ago I went to the farmer's market with the only goal of buying lots and lots of blueberries. I think I succeeded. My favorite blueberry guy at the farmer's market said that early August would be the best time to stock the freezer because they'll be lowest in price. I bought 2 flats of blueberries for $36. That's 24 pints (3 gallons).
Evan thought he had died and gone to heaven.




I bagged 1 flat of berries and froze them whole. We'll have plenty of berries for blueberry muffins and pancakes all winter long.
I pureed the other flat and bagged in 2 cup amounts to be used to make jam and blueberry applesauce in the coming months.
