Tip – Freezing Fresh Berries

Just returned from the market with more berries than you can eat in a week? Why not freeze a few?

To freeze berries you’ll need:

• 1 colander
• 1 baking sheet or small tray (if your freezer is tiny)
• 1 freezer Ziploc bag or freezer container

STEPS

1. Wash berries, and carefully remove any steams.
2. Drain berries in colander.
3. Once berries have drained (about 10 minutes) spread berries onto a baking sheet or small tray.
4. Freeze for 24 hours, and then put berries in a Ziploc bag or a freezer container.
5. Remove as much air as possible, and place berries back into freezer.

Simple!
