Freezing Fresh Blackberries

Contributed by: Melinda

During late spring, we go to the Forestville Ranch to pick fresh wild blackberries. They are so wonderful and we try to get as many as we can while they're available. Since this is always more than we use immediately, I've started freezing them in the quantities I use for Forestville Wild Blackberry Cobbler.

Freshly picked blackberries (not overripe)
Ziplock Freezer Bags

Rinse blackberries and lay out on a dish towel to dry thoroughly
Label several ziplock bags with the year and '4 cups'
Very gently place blackberries into a large measuring cup to the 4 cup mark
Pour berries into the ziplock bag and gently press out excess air
Seal well and place flat on a shelf in the freezer
Once frozen, you can stand the bag upright to conserve space

I do both 4 cup and 2 cup quantities. I pull out a 2 cup bag occasionally on hot days after dinner. We snack on partially thawed berries for dessert.
