Step 1. Remove any stems from the berries and wash. Gently pat the berries dry with a paper towel or let air dry.

Step 2: Once the berries are completely dry, place them on an baking sheet. Arrange berries as evenly as possible and do not stack berries on top of each other.

Step 3: Place the baking sheet of berries in the freezer for a few hours or until frozen through.

Step 4: Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and transfer the berries into a freezer bag. Seal the bag tightly, removing most of the air. Store in your freezer or deep freeze for up to 12 months.
