Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh raspberries

Instructions
 

Prepare the raspberries:

  • Gently rinse the raspberries under cool running water if needed. Remove any stems, leaves, or damaged berries. Pat dry or air dry completely.

Arrange on a baking sheet:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the raspberries in a single layer so they are not touching.

Flash freeze:

  • Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until the raspberries are firm, about 1 to 2 hours.

Transfer to freezer storage:

  • Once frozen, transfer the raspberries to a quart-size freezer bag or similar container. Remove as much air as possible, label, and return to the freezer.

Notes

1 pound of raspberries will fill approximately one quart-size freezer bag.
For best quality, use frozen raspberries within 8 to 12 months.
