A More Sustainable Adventure

Freezing Berries, Making smoothie bags and lots more top tips on seasonal fruit!

By letter2self on October 1, 2024



I’m joined by Harriet from Border berries fruit farm as we talk you through the ideal way bto freeze a glut of berries and what you can make with them from frozen.
Smoothie recipes at www.the batchlady.com and lots more top tips on my socials, come follow @TheBatchLady

Ready to use your berries?
Strawberries and raspberries-
1. Good for smoothies. If your blender struggles with harder fruit, leave it to soften for 20mins before using.
2. Blitz with yoghurt or cream for an instant fro yo or ice cream.
3. Defrost fully, blitz in a blender with a little sugar and you have an instant coulis for ice-cream, yoghurt, freezing as ice lollies – the possibilities are endless.

Tayberry, redcurrant and blackcurrant-
1. Good for adding to a crumble, pie, tart or cooking with sugar for compote. I can’t say this is that great for smoothies, the fruits are very sharp and tayberry seeds are quite woody when frozen. Their flavours are superb and punchy so great with apple in puddings, just add them to your crumble or tart when still frozen. Also good defrosted and turned into compote
