Raspberries are one of England’s favourite fruits, but they do go off quickly, so use them up soon after purchasing (or visiting the PYO farm) or freeze to use later on. To do this, wash and dry the berries, then freeze in a single layer on a baking tray, then transfer to a silicone freezer bag.
Once you know the basic formulas, you can whizz up something tasty, with whatever ingredients you have to hand. There’s even a chart to help you out:
- Liquids
- Greens
- Fruit
- Healthy fats
- Superfoods
