Notes
- Fresh or frozen berries? I used fresh blueberries for this recipe, as they're in season right now, but you can certainly make this blueberry cobbler with frozen berries instead.
- Can you freeze fresh blueberries? Absolutely! If you like to get a lot of fresh blueberries when they're in season, but can't possibly eat them all (you must not live in my house), you can freeze them to enjoy throughout the year. Simply place the berries in a single on a baking sheet and freeze. Once they're frozen, place the frozen blueberries in ziploc bags and they should last for about one year.
