Berry Handling

These are probably the easiest fruit to prepare and serve. There’s no peeling, pitting, coring or cutting. For optimal storage, berries should be refrigerated, but not washed until needed. Once chilled, they will maintain their quality from 10 days to two weeks. If freezing blueberries, place berries one layer deep. Freeze, then place in freezer containers. Remember both frozen and fresh berries should be rinsed and drained just before serving.
