How to Freeze Berries

Did you know that you can freeze berries?

how to freeze berries

Freezing berries is something that I have been doing for years now. Those extra berries that are on the verge of being too ripe? I freeze them. There is an amazing sale at the grocery store, but you usually think it will be too much to eat at the moment, right? I freeze my extras. By freezing berries during their peak season, you can enjoy them all throughout the year! You can freeze them whole, or you can freeze sliced berries. Either way works the same.

I used to be guilty of throwing away those last fruits that had been forgotten at the back of the fridge. Freezing berries was one of the ways I found that saved my fruit from being thrown out, and in turn saved me money. Every time you end up throwing fruit out, you are essentially throwing your money into the trash.

What other things do you need help with around the kitchen? MOMables has you covered from breakfast to dinner, and most important, your kid’s lunch box!

So next time it’s the dead of winter, and you find yourself wanting blueberry muffins but blueberries aren’t in season anymore, check your freezer stash!

Frozen berries can be used in many recipes; pancakes, muffins, smoothies, and cookies. My daughter especially enjoys using the various frozen fruits in our freezer to make frozen yogurt shapes.

MOM Tip: Try to get all of the air out of the freezer-safe bag in order to prevent freezer burn.
