Chilling in the fridge rather than baking in the oven is the key to this simple yet spectacular fruity, nutty deliciousness which pleases nearly everyone and is great for entertaining.

There is a wide range of juicy berries available in our shops e.g. blackberries, blueberries, grapes, raspberries, redcurrants, strawberries, and plenty to pick in hedgerows - not forgetting to leave some for the wildlife. Many are grown in the UK and they can be used to make lots of different delicious recipes. Remember that you can buy them frozen all year round too.
Store berries in their original packaging in the fridge.
Berries can be frozen in a sealed bag or container for up to 3 months.
Store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
To freeze: You can freeze fresh berries on a tray first (so that they don’t lump together) and then store in an airtight container in the freezer.
To defrost: When you take food or drink out of the freezer, it’s important to defrost it safely. Don’t defrost at room temperature. Ideally, defrost fully in the fridge and use within 24 hours. Or, use a microwave on the defrost setting.
Leftover squishy berries make for a great smoothie – simply blend with yogurt, milk or fruit juice.
Frozen berries are also good for using in grown-up drinks and look beautiful topping a summer dessert. Do not give frozen berries to children: they are a choking hazard.
Think about swapping fresh berries for frozen fruits or smoothie mixes (if your fruit often ends up being used in a smoothie). Frozen foods last a long time in the freezer, you can use as much as you need when you need to and they can often be a cheaper option. Berry pie fillings and toppings also come in tins.
