why not try frozen?  I did this morning.

They were a little bigger, the size is very consistent, clean, ready to
use.  The texture though, not as good as they look.  I guess the
freezing breaks down the inner parts and it lacks density.  They would
look good in a fruit salad, but lack flavor and texture for eating.
Nope, won't use frozen again.

Evidently, every blueberry I've ever eaten have either
been frozen or are subpar, tasteless blue orbs and
blueberry jam is just gloopy blue sugar.  Even frozen
strawberries and strawberry jam taste like strawberries.
