I am absolutely going to try this. Thanks.
Wow. I never thought that much about freezing them. Usually I just throw them in a big lump in a plastic bag without washing them. Thanks for the advice!
I never thought about freezing the berries individually. I usually just toss the container they are in into the freezer. I don’t wash them off until after I thaw them out or just before using the frozen berries. I’ll have to remember to do them this way, so much nicer!
I stock up and always have some on hand.
Very best way to freeze them. Works for blueberries too.
Such a great idea to freeze raspberries and blackberries. Never thought how easy it it! thank you!
never knew i could freeze raspberries and blackberries thanks for sharing this
I’ve known how to do this, but I never seem to have room to lay a sheet pan down in my freezer! My freezer stuffed….including with bags of frozen fruit! I adore frozen raspberries and strawberries in particular. Will eat them straight out of the freezer or throw them directly into yogurt. Yum….
We do this with any of our fresh fruit that start to get overripe.
I like this idea, they can then be used for smoothies!!
Thanks for this great information.
We have a lot of Raspberries growing in our Garden patch!! This is what I will do with them. Thankyou so much for sharing this Freezing method with us. Now we can have our own fresh Raspberries all year round! :)~~~~
