Freezing fruit helps keep them good for longer so that you can use them at all times in the year. Frozen blueberries are great to carry the taste of Summer throughout the cold months. However, like many other fruits, thawing blueberries can change some of their physical properties.
There are many ways to thaw frozen blueberries from letting them sit out on the counter to thawing them in a cold water bath. Each method takes a different amount of time and can change how the blueberries look.
This method works great if you have other tasks to do in the meantime as this method takes a long time. Be warned, this method may be dangerous if you have snacky roommates.
Step 1: Move your blueberries into a room temperature bowl and cover it with plastic or the container’s top.
Step 2: Leave your blueberries out on the counter.
Step 3: Wait a few hours. If your kitchen is warm, this may take as soon as 4 hours.
Step 4: Check if they are still frozen. If they are, continue waiting. If they have thawed, enjoy!

Cons:

You have to make sure that the water is very cold. Hot water can cause bacteria to grow.
The Microwave Method
This is the fastest method, though it is probably the toughest of the blueberries. If you’re planning to cook with the blueberries, then this method will work in a pinch.
Step 1: Put your blueberries in a microwave-safe bowl
Step 2: Remove any ice chunks that may have grown on the blueberries. This can affect the heating process and texture.
Step 3: Microwave for 10-second increments. Check on them after every increment.
Even with the fridge method that changes the blueberry’s texture the least, the texture will be different after thawing. This means that you probably don’t want to snack on them alone. However, there are still plenty of ways to use thawed blueberries so that the new texture doesn’t matter.
