hmmm, that’s so weird that it’s not working for you… I just triple checked and it’s working fine. Feel free to email me if you’re still having trouble: michelle@soulyrested(dot)com

I made this using frozen organic blueberries that I pick every year. I replaced the white sugar with local raw honey. I did measure out the original amount of blueberries but it didn’t seem like quite enough once the berries thawed, so I added more, not measuring. I also added some freeze dried rosemary powder, about 1/2 tsp, for flavor. The blueberries began to float around day 3, when the ferment started to get really active, but they all stayed below my weight. I let them go 5-6 days (don’t remember what day I started them) and they are delicious, however the blueberries seem to be hollow? It’s strange, like the insides melted out, even though the skin seems intact. However, I blended them roughly with an immersion blender and they’re perfect. I added some chia seeds to make a thick, jam like consistency, and they’re perfect! They will be used to top my homemade yogurt. I am definitely making this again and again!

good day michelle. I have a thought about replacing kombucha. i have collected over 3+ yrs : 3 ” of mother from braggs raw acv, could that possibly work in fermented blueberries. possibly more shrub tasting ? Awaiting your thoughts.

Michelle I figure other than strawberries other berries can be used in this recipe.
? What about stone fruit ?

In reply to susan. Hi Susan, While I'm pretty sure maple syrup would work fine, I've never experimented with it... I never want to take a chance of messing up my beloved blueberries that I enjoy, in small amounts, all winter long. If you try it, keep me posted!

Michelle I definitely would be interested in using maple syrup if that’s possible. My blueberries are 24 hrs in process. Couldn’t find just primary kombucha when I went grocery shopping but, I used “GT Synergy “ brand in cherry/coconut/ lemongrass , seasonal item. Berries and cherries

In reply to kathy. That is the only downside, honestly... yes, you must store them in the fridge. But I use them anyway you'd use fresh blueberries, honestly. I love them on breakfast cereal or oatmeal and in my yogurt. Let me know what you think if you try them! :)

Love the idea – but other than just eating them, what to you use the fermented blueberries in? And are they shelf stable? I imagine you have to refrigerate for the whole year???
