Blueberries are in season right now and what better snack for those who need to limit sugar? Besides being high in fiber, antioxidants and vitamins,  blueberries are naturally low in sugar. Stock up on these nutritious little berries and put some in your freezer to enjoy year round….here’s how to do it:

1. 1. Rinse blueberries thoroughly
   2. Spread berries on clean cotton towels and allow to air-dry for at least 1 hour
   3. Line a rimmed baking pan with wax paper and spread one layer of berries on the pan; place in freezer
   4. Once blueberries are frozen, put in mason jars or plastic storage containers, label & date, and return to freezer.
