Berries, Berries, Berries! I love soft fruit and when it's berry season my garden goes wild and produces so many raspberries and blackberries I have to store them in such a way to keep them good so I can use them through those dark, cold Winter months to add some 'Summer' to my desserts!
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup of soft berries or as much fruit as you like.
  • in You will need a baking tray to fit the freezer and some air tight storage containers or plastic bags. I use the zip lock type
Instructions
  1. For hard skin berries, wash in VERY cold water and dry on clean tea towel or kitchen paper. For very soft berries (like raspberries) don't wash before freezing.
  2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the fruit out evenly. Place in the freezer until fruits are frozen.
  3. Once frozen, transfer the fruits to an air tight container or bag, ensuring all air is removed. Then return to the freezer. The fruits should keep well for around 6 months, *** It's a good idea to label the bags / containers with the date so you know when to use by.
