I have been reading lots of posts about freezing berries. When you think of the extra cost to buy them fresh when they are not in season, this becomes a great idea. Right now most berries are at a low price. So this would be a great time to buy some and freeze them until you need them. You can freeze all kinds of fruit, such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, peaches, mangos, papayas, there is no limit.
Here is how you can flash freeze them and then wrap them up to freeze them until later.
Rinse off your berries and let them dry in the colander. Place the berries on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place them in the freezer for about 20 minutes. That is called flash freezing.
Next place the berries into a freezer safe zip lock bag. This saves a lot of space in the freezer. That’s it. Easy Peasy.
Do you freeze items and what are your tips?

I am a baker, I think about it all the time, coming up with new desserts, that is, while spending time with my 3 children. Two of them help me in the kitchen. The oldest doesn't think it's the cool thing to do. I also teach cooking classes including gluten free baking. I like to read and work out in the garden. I finished culinary school a few years ago and volunteer at our church and school. I am busy, busy, busy, but love every minute of it. 
I do freeze lot of fruit and that is exactly how I do it. They always turn out great and don't stick together in the bag:)

I loved learning about this last year, but I couldn't find the pictures I took, so I did it again. It beats paying top price.
