Canning and freezing the blueberries:

*Splenda is the trademark name for sucralose sweeteners.  They are different from other artificial sweeteners like Nutrasweet (tm for aspartame) and SweetNLow (tm)in that Splenda doesn't break down when you cook with it.  It is also considered to be "more natural" since it is a modified form of ordinary sugar. However, even the company that makes Splenda generally doesn't recommend completely substituting sugar with Splenda - a 50-50 mix seems to work best; otherwise both consistency and flavor suffer. But at least you can cut the empty calories almost in half!
