Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I don't have personal experience freezing berries, but I've seen frozen black and raspberries in the store so I know it's possible. I adore berries. I can't get enough of them, but I prefer them fresh.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Berries can be frozen. I recommend one of two methods. 1) lay them out on a tray and freeze them, then bag them; 2) the best way, lay them out on a tray and freeze them and then use something like seal-a-meal. Since they don't last all that long around here, on a real good berrying year they last at least 6 months. BTW, if you use the freeze as individual berries and then use a seal-a-meal, you don't get all the crystals and then when making pies you don't end up with soup.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Berries are very healthy - quite a superfood. I like them either raw, or added to apples for a crumble or pie. You can also juice them with other fruits and veg, or whizz them into a drink. Jo , " rvijay " <rvijay07@m...> wrote: > I have ignored berries for a long time.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hi Vijay We freeze most of the strawberries from our garden. Simply wash them, cut off the stems and then put in a bag to freeze. You can even slice them beforehand if you want. They are not the best for thawing and eating whole, because they do tend to become soft when de-frosted. But we use them for preserves or even just heat them a bit and they are a great topping for waffles, pancakes, ice cream (soy, of course), cakes etc. I've never frozen any other berries, but would have to think they fall along the same guidelines.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Wash the berries and then place them on paper towels. They need to be totally dry before you freeze them. I have one of those devices that sucks the air out of the bowls before I put them in the freezer and that works really well.
