How to Freeze Berries

Summer is here and berries are plentiful. Why not freeze them while they are less expensive and most flavorful? You can toss them in a smoothie, your oatmeal, or in your yogurt. You can use them for baking, use them in sauces, or eat them right out of the bag. Give this a try!

DIRECTIONS

  1. Gently place your berries in a bowl of cold water to gently rinse.
  2. Remove the berries from the water and place them on paper towels.
  3. Using another paper towel, pat them gently to dry.
  4. Arrange the whole berries on a baking sheet and freeze until they are solid. This keeps the berries loose and makes measuring and thawing easier.
