It’s critical that you don’t wash or rinse the berries after picking unless you intend to use them on the same day. Cleaning the raspberries causes them to waterlog, and turns them mushy, ruining the texture of the berry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping your fresh berries in dry storage is the best option to ensure they remain fresh and sweet. It’s also an easy process to freeze raspberries. We recommend you place your raspberries in a single layer on a tray, and then send them to the freezer. After freezing, you can add all of the berries to a resealable bag, and store them in the freezer for up to a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you intend on making jams and other preserves with your raspberries, then use fresh berries picked on the day for the best results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
