Blueberry Powder Smoking Instructions
- Place the blueberry powder onto a surgical grade screen (recommend 12x 12) in a thin layer.
- Preheat the smoker to get the smoke flowing. We recommend a cold smoker or a smoker that doesn’t get hotter than 150 degrees. Chef tip: When choosing the wood type, be sure to pick a lighter wood that will allow the deep taste of the blueberry powder to shine. We suggest an Apple or Cherry wood.
- Add the screen of blueberry powered to the smoker.
- Cold smoke for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour (smoke more or less depending on desired smoke flavor)
- Remove from the smoker and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container in a dark, cool area.
