Tips
# 1 CUP BLACKBERRIES equals approximately 1/2 cup puree.
# STORE FROZEN BERRIES in their unopened or tightly resealed packages in your freezer. If
berries are to be served alone, thaw until they are pliable and serve partially frozen. Add sugar
to taste - it brings out both the flavor and the luscious juices.
# WHOLE FROZEN BERRIES DESTINED FOR YOUR BAKED GOODS should be used frozen.
Gently fold into pies, cakes and muffins just prior to use.
# PROMPTLY RETURN UNUSED FROZEN BERRIES TO THE FREEZER to prevent them from
thawing and re-freezing together.
# WHEN STRAINING PUREE TO REMOVE SEEDS, a food sieve with an extra fine screen size
works best. If your food sieve has a larger screen size, try inserting a double layer of
cheesecloth
