To store leftover blueberry pierogi, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. You can refrigerate them for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage. If freezing, make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. When ready to eat, simply boil or pan-fry them until heated through.
What can I serve with blueberry pierogi?
Blueberry pierogi are delicious on their own, but you can enhance the experience by serving them with a dollop of sour cream mixed with sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup. They pair well with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad to balance the sweetness.
Can I use frozen blueberries for making pierogi?
Absolutely! You can use frozen blueberries for making blueberry pierogi. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before using to avoid excess moisture in the filling. This will help maintain the texture of the pierogi while still delivering that delightful blueberry flavor.
