🧾 INGREDIENTS
- Fresh blueberries
- Clean water (for washing)
- Optional: white vinegar (for cleaning bacteria)
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
- Sort the blueberries – Remove any damaged or moldy berries.
- Wash gently – Rinse in cold water (optional: soak 2–3 mins in water + a splash of vinegar).
- Dry completely – Spread on a towel and let them air dry fully (very important!).
- Sterilize jars – Wash glass jars with hot water and dry them completely.
- Fill the jars – Add dry blueberries into the jar without crushing.
- Seal tightly – Use an airtight lid.
- Store properly – Keep jars in the refrigerator.
- Check occasionally – Remove any spoiled berries to keep others fresh.
💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
- Never store wet berries — moisture causes mold سريع!
- Use glass jars instead of plastic for longer freshness.
- Don’t overcrowd the jar; airflow helps prevent spoilage.
- Keep jars in the coldest part of your fridge.
- For years-long storage, proper canning (with heat processing) is required—not just refrigeration.
⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
Storing blueberries in jars in the fridge can keep them fresh for weeks or a few months, but NOT years unless you use proper water-bath canning methods with tested guidelines. Always follow safe food preservation practices to avoid health risks.
