It happens every time, they all become blueberries

but my doting fiance who has child-like eating habits won't touch them unless they're mixed, mangled or incorporated

oh you have one too?? my husband is so freakin' weird about fruit. it can only be a CERTAIN type of apple he will eat, no fruit ever in a salad or he'll freak & when i cut up any fruit he insists i put the peelings in a bag, sealed up that bag THEN put it in the garbage. something about the smels of fruit reminds him of his mother & his upbringing. it's kindof sad & funny all at the same time.

I like to freeze them, but not for thawing later. I like to eat them frozen. Little icy treats. I like grapes and raspberries that way too. I also like to use frozen berries in place of ice cubes in my water sometimes.

There is a way to flash freeze them so you can use them again at a later date. Put the blueberries on a sheet pan (cookie) not letting them touch each other and only one layer. Place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour and they will freeze without freezing in a big clump of berries. When frozen you take as much as you want and place in a freezer bag (they don't take up much room in freezer bags) as they will be frozen separately and you can use them for muffins or pancakes anytime you want. I do this with almost everything. Hope this helps you.
