FOOD FREEZING No. 10
Roy E. Moitr, Jr., Ext. Ser. VPI
Frozen berries have become very popular lately. Blackberries, raspberries, dewberries and others can be frozen easily and make a good product. Then these berries can be used the year around for desserts.
As with other fruit*, the berries must be picked ripe, but not overripe. They should be at the peak of perfection. Once picked, they should be frozen rapidly to protect and preserve all of their goodness. The berries must be picked carefully and handled gently throughout preparation to prevent bruising.
Wash the berries in- cold water and drain thoroughly^ Sort out any moldy, rotten or green berries.
There are several ways to pack berries. For dessert use, a sirup pack is best. If you want the berries for pies later, a sugar pack is recommended. Determine which type pack you prefer, based on the way you will use the fruit. For a dry pack mix one (1) cupful of sugar with each six (6) cupfuls of berries, and package. For the sirup pack, place the berries in the package, and cover with a sirup made by adding four (4) cupfuls of sugar and four (4) cupfuls of water. Be sure to leave room in the package for the product to expand when frozen. ,
