How to Store Fresh Picked Blackberries

Blackberries are in season from May to October so this is the best time to pick them. If you have taken the time to pick fresh blackberries, it is essential that you store them well so that they last as long as possible. Blackberries are not as perishable as other berries, but they should be refrigerated as soon as possible after picking. Blackberries can be kept in the refrigerator for up to about a week.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Place blackberries in a cool place as soon as they have been picked.

2. Do not wash blackberries until you are ready to use them.

3. Remove any smashed or soft blackberries.

4. Place the blackberries into a shallow container. For best results, use a container that allows the berries to be stored in a single layer, like a cookie sheet.

5. Refrigerate the blackberries for up to a week.
