This is good to know. I did not realize you could freeze berries.
That’s how I freeze everything.
I’ve recently seen lots of snacks doing this with grapes, then, just eating the frozen grape. I’ve always used my frozen berries in recipes, but Dole just came out with those dippers – fruit in chocolate frozen. This would be a great way to make your own.
I’ve never even thought of freezing these. Thanks for letting us know!
Summertime and the freeezin’ is easy. Love the summer fruits.
My mom would like this she loves her berries,thanks
With summer here, berries are in season and cheaper. It’s easier to buy extra and freeze them for recipes or smoothies later. I do this with strawberries, but I hadn’t thought about it for the blackberries I have.
I am going to do mine this way this summer. I usually just dump them in a baggie and freeze them . Their okay that way to.
the recipe looks delicious and my friends are going to like it very much. i like the flavour of raspberries as it brings a different taste to the whole recipe and plus its good for health too.
Wow. Thanks. I’ll remember this this summer when they’re in season.
We love having wild blackberries in the middle of winter.
This works well for blueberries as well.
thanks Sarah! Didn’t know that.
This is a wonderful idea to freeze them when they are in season or on sale at the store. We eat a lot of berries will have to give it a try .
I love frozen berries on my oatmeal in the morning. The hot oatmeal thaws them (keep the lid on the pan for that) and you can enjoy them all year long this way. Plus, they’re so good for you!
It’s January. I wish I had done this last summer.
Great tips…thank you.
This is a great idea!
Thanks so much for this post! These will be a great healthy snack/dessert 🙂
Love this, I had often wondered how to do this the correct way.
This is quite a recipe. I am going to try to replicate it over the holidays.
