Freezing Raspberries

Unlike my strawberries which were a huge disappointment this year, the raspberries are wonderful. Raspberry canes just grow, produce for a couple of years and then die off but by then, they've replaced themselves twice over so there's always canes loaded with fruit. Raspberries are not a high-needs fruit. I like that.

I'm trying a different way to freeze them. I usually just pop 'em in bags and freeze. I found this method which says to freeze them on a cookie tray lined with wax paper then put them in bags for the long term. I'm hoping it will be easier to just get a scoop of berries in the dead of winter when I am longing for the long, hot berry days of summer. Heck when January rolls around, I'm even beginning to miss the mosquitoes. But back to freezing raspberries. Berries frozen in bags tend to stick together, I am hoping that if they're frozen individually they won't be so chummy with each other and will tumble merrily into my bowl reminding me of summer's carefree ways.
