Can I Use Canned Blueberries Instead Of Fresh?
Yes, you can use canned blueberries instead of fresh in most recipes. Canned blueberries are cooked and may be softer than fresh but they still have the same nutritional value and taste as fresh blueberries. When using canned blueberries in baking, you should rinse them well and drain before using. The sugar syrup in the can can be used as a substitute for sugar in the recipe. Canned blueberries are a convenient option for recipes that require blueberries year-round and as a substitute for fresh blueberries that are out of season or unavailable.
