I buy frozen blueberries all the time from Schwans.
I pour some in a bowl and let them thaw out and eat them with milk or
add cornflakes.
I don't bake anymore but you can use them for anything you want to
bake.
I also use the frozen berries to make icecream with a bit of milk in a
blender or
make a smoothie.
