If you then squish them up and strain them you get rose wine (only a little of the pigment has infused with the juice) however leave the skins in and leave it a little longer (which is happening in the freezer with your blueberries) you get deep purple red wine.( I know that's a very over simplified example of making wine.) If you were to squish your fresh blueberries up and leave them a day you would get the same colour effect as using frozen. | |

As Johanna pointed out, freezing them breaks down the cell walls of the berries, releasing the juices and making the berries squishier and more likely to bleed their color into the surrounding batter. | |

| Mar 1, 2015 at 3:18 | comment | added | Catija | @thinlyveiledquestionmark Are you using the word rotten literally? Because frozen blueberries are never rotten. | |
| Mar 1, 2015 at 3:16 | comment | added | yuritsuki | The reason she claims frozen blueberries are rotten are due to the color. She says that since Fresh blueberries take on the appearance of a light navy blue color, that since frozen ones have a much darker appearance that they are certainly rotten; a claim I was very skeptical of | |
