Freezing Raspberries?

1sttimer_2

Help - I got a fantastic bargain in Sainsbury's tonight. They had raspberry punnets 2 for £3 reduced to 30p per punnet. So I bought 6 but would like to freeze them but don't know how!

Can any one advise me best thing to do?

Thanks.

Hi 1sttimer

THIS older thread on raspberries might help

your best bet would be to rinse them, dry them *gently* and then spread them out on a tray, so that they aren't touching. Then freeze them overnight. In the morning you can take them off the tray and put them into a bag, back into the freezer.

Raspberries go a bit mushy after they've been frozen, but they're great for smoothies and deserts where you want the flavour but don't need them to look perfect.

I got a punnet of organic raspberries at sainsburies yesterday for 20p.
Whenever I freeze raspberries I just stick the punnet straight in the freezer. We usually use frozen ones warm (with whipped cream and ice cream) or in a pudding where shape doesn't matter.
Also got a punnet of organic blueberries for 20p, also in the freezer now

i freeze them on a baking tray so they are seperate and then bag them up afterwards.

I also freeze them in the punnet I dont wash them at all as they break up - nice defrosted in microwave or put straight from frozen into a jelly and they set it so quickly.

Spread the raspberrys out on the ice tray in freezer and use defrosted to top home made puddings.
