A quick and easy way to save blackberries for the dead of winter. I pick the berries do not wash them. Lay them on a tray single layer and put them in the freezer overnight. Once frozen bag them is freezer zip locks in the amount you want. When you want them later take out of freezer rinse them with cold water and enjoy.
Not washing them will prevent ice crystals and the blackberries breaking down.
I use a topping for homemade ice cream, cobblers, just to eat. The real kick is using them in December.
