Freezing Blackberries, Blueberries, etc.

Finally, it's time for fresh berries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries are normally what I freeze. I only freeze berries right off the vine. Wash berries well and pat dry with paper towels; spread in single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan that will fit in your freezer. When berries are frozen transfer to freezer bags and return to freezer. This will allow you to remove as many or as few as you need.

I freeze gallons of various berries each year to make pies, cobblers, jams and jellies, etc.

Throughout the summer and fall I hope to provide you with lots of wonderful canning, freezing and dehydrating ideas and recipes.
