The easiest way to save summer

Berries spoil in 3 days. Frozen, they last 9 months. This is the easiest food preservation there is.

Progress0 of 5 steps

🫐Wash berries gently in cold water
Pick out any squishy or moldy ones — one bad berry can spoil the bunch.
📜Lay them in a single layer on a baking tray
Use parchment paper so they don't stick.
❄️Freeze the tray for 2 hours
Freezing each berry separately keeps them from clumping later.
🛍️Pour the frozen berries into a freezer bag
Squeeze out the air, label with the date.
🥞Use within 9 months — smoothies, muffins, pancakes!
Frozen berries are picked at peak ripeness, often better than 'fresh' ones flown from far away.
