Yield 1 cup frozen berries

Ingredients

  • 1 pint or more of berries of choice

Instructions

  • Prepare a baking sheet (with at least 1/2 in. lip) by laying a piece of parchment paper flat onto the baking sheet.
  • Wash berries with cold water or fruit wash, and lay on paper towels and allow to dry completely.
  • Once dry, prepare berries by removing stems, leaves, and any overly ripe berries.*
  • Place berries on baking sheet, making sure to spread them out evenly. It's best if the berries are not touching one another so that they don't freeze together.
  • Place into the freezer for 30-60 minutes* or until berries are hard and completely frozen.
  • Remove from the freezer and use a spatula to scrape frozen berries off of the baking sheet.
  • Transfer berries into a freezer-safe gallon-size bag. Remove as much air from the freezer-safe bag as possible and seal tightly.
  • Store berries in the freezer for easy access to frozen berries for smoothies and baking for up to 3 months.

Tips & Notes

  • If freezing strawberries, feel free to slice into halves or fourths instead of keeping whole.
  • Larger berries like whole strawberries will take longer to freeze than smaller berries like blueberries.
  • Nutrition information is for blueberries.
