Freeze some more to top yogurt and ice cream. The crunch is extra satisfying.

Freezer jam!

They freeze so beautifully! I froze 2 gallons this year. We'll use them in oatmeal, in pancakes, and in muffins all year.

And, of course, we ate our fill raw--in cereal, in salads, and I made a cobbler.

I agree, jam. You can make freezer jam with honey, too.

They freeze beautifully. We like to eat them right out of the freezer. Make a great mid-summer snack.

I try to freeze 1-2 gallons every summer. They're gone by next summer.

From frozen, you can add them to any baked good, from muffins to waffles. Use them for compotes, sauces, syrups, jams, add them to lemonade or soda water for a flavor twist. There are just dozens of uses for them. We love blueberries around here, I wish there was a u-pick.

I would definitely freeze.

Blueberry Lime Jam is a favorite around here.

I agree with the freeze more advice. My DH's grandma has lots of blueberry bushes and we freeze gallons and gallons to share in the family. DD loves blueberries straight out of the freezer and I add them to muffins and pancakes frozen too.

You can also make a slump, buckle or cobbler. Peaches are just coming into season right now and peach blueberry cobbler is awesome.

Oh and we made these lemon blueberry popsicles recently and they're yummy, but messy.

DD says eating frozen blueberries is better than ice cream!
