Freezing raspberries - Page 2

drew51 · October 5, 2015

I have grown raspberries for many years, and yes they do become more tart compared to fresh. I have no idea why? The yellow raspberries are in general sweeter than the reds, and are sweeter once frozen.
I also never had a problem with them sticking very much, but they can get flattened, so freezing on a tray first is a good idea.

That looks quite delish! May I ask which varieties you would recommend for Chicago area? Would prefer both summer and fall ones.
