I love raspberries fresh.&nbsp; I love them on cereal, yogurt, salad, ice cream, waffles, etc.&nbsp; However, we all know they don&#8217;t last long once they have been picked.&nbsp; I kept 2 containers out &amp; froze the rest.&nbsp; I considered jam\/preserves for about 30 seconds.&nbsp;&nbsp; I Googled the procedure and once I learned that I would have to buy all kinds of canning\/jarring equipment, that idea was out the window.&nbsp; LOL!!&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>I Googled how to freeze the berries and it was super simple.&nbsp; I figure now I can use them for baking, smoothies, ice cream, cereal, pancakes, etc.&nbsp; I washed the berries first by dipping them in cold water in a colander.&nbsp;
