Pureed frozen blueberries

I pureed fresh blueberries and froze them in ice cube trays. When I pulled them out they look like cranberry sauce out of a can. Kind of rubbery looking and hold shape. Are they okay or should I pitch them?

    Mine were the same way and I think they are fine. I mix them with some oatmeal so the texture isn't so weird.

    Not to hijack your thread, but I have a ton of frozen blueberries that my mom picked and brought to me last year. Do you think I could thaw them, puree them, and refreeze them? I've only ever used them in pies...

    I have no idea about the consistency issue, maybe they weren't frozen solid enough?  I have had to leave mine in for over 24 hours to get them solid.  As for refreezing frozen berries, I did and mine were fine.

    I cook mine with just a touch of water until they burst, then pulse in the blender, then freeze. They came out really nice!

    Just a note, I've seen a few reports indicating you should never refreeze milk or fruit/vegetables, so I would recommend that everyone look into this!

    Frozen food (commercially packaged) is not cooked prior to freezing.  As long as you cook the frozen food before refreezing, you are fine.
