Blueberries: when it's in season and what to cook

Blueberries are usually at their best from June to August across much of the US.

June, July, August

How to pick it

Choose firm, dry, deep-blue berries with a silvery bloom; check the bottom of the box for juice stains.

How to keep it

Refrigerate unwashed and rinse right before using. Spread extras on a tray to freeze, then bag them.

Months are when each item is usually at its best across much of the US. Seasons start earlier in warm places and later in cool ones, and they shift from year to year, so your local farm stand or market is the best guide.
