If you have already had a read of the ‘how to freeze strawberries article’, then this method for freezing blackberries is similar to that except for one thing…
Firstly place a sheet of waxed / greased baking paper on a baking / cookie sheet, then place the blackberries on (do not wash the blackberries - this will make them go more mushy once defrosted if you do). Make sure not to put any bruised or bad fruit on the tray. When placing the blackberries down do not let the fruit touch each other otherwise you will end up with a clump of fruit.
Place the cookie / baking tray in the freezer and allow a good few hours to freeze. Remove the tray of fruit from the freezer and gather the blueberries together and place in an airtight container or freezer back to store again back in the freezer until needed. By placing them on a baking / cooking tray first this ensures that the blackberries don’t all stick together.
If you usually make a blackberry pie or jam, why don’t you try something different like our Very Berry Smoothie Recipe, or perhaps our Berry Brazzle Smoothie Recipe which we are sure you will enjoy!

If you have any fresh strawberries left over, don’t let them just sit there and rot - try freezing them!
Frozen strawberries can provide a healthy snack, you can put them in smoothie recipes or even in a nice glass of champagne to keep it chilled - delicious!
The quickest method of freezing strawberries is to wash and hull the strawberries. Place them on a small baking / cookie sheet and line it with waxed paper or kitchen roll, place the strawberries on the tray (make sure they don’t touch each other), place the tray in your freezer and once the strawberries are frozen, remove from the tray and place in a sealed freezer bag to store. Simple and easy.

At flowercarole.com we receive emails asking us which smoothie recipes would we suggest to a person new to making homemade smoothies.
What we advise is to start off with a simple smoothie at first, something like the strawberry and banana recipe or maybe the banana baby smoothie recipe.
