First off, if you are going to eat them fresh, please wash them. Our crop is outside where birds and insects live so there is a chance those berries could have been touched by someone else besides you! Go ahead and give them a rinse in some cool water just in case.
If the blueberries are going to be stored in the refrigerator, they can last up to 10 days according to my husband. It is best NOT to wash them before storing them otherwise they will not last as long.
To store in the freezer, lay them out on a cookie sheet with out washing them. You can easily see if there are any stems this way. Stems are much easier to pull off a fresh blueberry!
Whatever you plan to do, enjoy.
]]>1. Trim your wick
The wick should always be trimmed to 1/4" before lighting. This is also the case even after you burn. Trimming will avoid a dark smoke and excessive mushrooming of the wick.
2. Burning your candle
Burn the candle long enough for the entire wax surface to melt. If only a portion of it melts it will cause a smell hole to form around your wick.
3. Do not blow out your candle
Don't want the smoke in the room or wax splatter, place the lid on to snuff out the flame. It will also keep your wick intact.
Ok, now go enjoy your lovely candle!
