Before using, gently rinse the blueberries under cool water and pat them dry. They can be added whole to batters for muffins, scones, or quick breads, where they will soften and release their juices during baking. For smoothies, they can be frozen or fresh. They also make a wonderful topping for breakfast items like oatmeal or cereal. For a simple snack, enjoy them straight from the container.
