How to Make Dried Blueberries Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Gently wash 2 cups of fresh blueberries and thoroughly pat them dry with a paper towel.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  4. Spread the blueberries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.
  5. Bake for 90-100 minutes, or until the blueberries are shriveled and leathery but not burned. Check them around the 75-minute mark and rotate the pan for even drying.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the dried blueberries cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Once cool, store your dried blueberries in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. They'll keep for several weeks.
