Ours was about 5 weeks last year and I missed picking but this year we were picking till almost August! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955822 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 08:01:19 +0000 regberadaisy 1955822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: ugh. The blueberry season was SO short here this year that we missed the window. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955752 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 01:48:29 +0000 lamariniere 1955752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only do frozen in the winter. Fresh ones are imported from so far away, are super expensive and not good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955414 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 20:02:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 1955414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I just bought blueberries at Costco for maybe $6 for a big container? We also mash thawed frozen berries and mix with yogurt because they are way to messy to eat by hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955341 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 19:13:34 +0000 dagret 1955341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pick about 20 lbs of blueberries in the summer and freeze them. When I run out, I buy frozen. No more fresh berries until strawberries are back in season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955325 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 18:52:35 +0000 regberadaisy 1955325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: do you remember how much the big carton is? I remember balking at the price. But now compared to 6oz for 3.99 it doesn't sound so bad! ;) </p> <p>@jedeve: same here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955314 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 18:42:26 +0000 lavender 1955314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bj's </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955311 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 18:40:58 +0000 Freckles 1955311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD loves frozen blueberries. I still buy strawberries in the winter - i find the organic ones (driscoll's) taste the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955195 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 17:15:50 +0000 jedeve 1955195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Costco. I never ever would have bought berries in the winter before having kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955175 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 17:06:16 +0000 blackbird 1955175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do frozen ones :-/ fresh ones taste so bitter and are expensive </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955164 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 17:04:00 +0000 Mama Bird 1955164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have fresh cranberries in stores all winter, because they keep so well. They might not be the best snack food - they're pretty sour, but you can try sprinkling them with sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/berries-during-the-winter#post-1955103 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 16:38:54 +0000 regberadaisy 1955103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where do you buy fresh berries in the off season? We paid $3.99 for 6oz of fresh blueberries from our grocery store last week! And that's on sale. </p> <p>LO loves to snack on frozen berries so I freeze fresh ones because it's cleaner. If I let her snack on frozen berries from the freezer section they stain and make a mess. </p>
