Now it’s the height of summer when beautiful fruit is in copious supply and available for just a few dollars. Of course I want to take full advantage of the seasonal fruit, so I freeze them. Once frozen, you can store them for up to 6 months. I like to use them in baking, in smoothies, and added to yogurt. If you haven’t eaten them all, you could even do this with mulberries!
How to Freeze Berries
Ingredients
- fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries
Instructions
- Rinse berries and drain. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Arrange the berries in a single layer on a baking sheet (lining the sheet with parchment paper prevents the berries from sticking to the sheet), or in an ice cube tray.
- Place the baking sheet or ice cube tray in the freezer for an hour, until berries are mostly frozen.
- Gently pour berries into a labeled plastic freezer bag. Place in the freezer and store for up to 6 months.
- Enjoy these berries in the dead of winter, and dream of warm summertime breezes!
