  Tips for cooking with frozen berries:

  • To use frozen berries in cakes or muffins simply add them to the batter without bothering to defrost. The berries will warm in the heat of the oven
  • To adjust recipes when using frozen berries that call for fresh berries, slightly increase the thickeners (flour, cornstarch) to offset the additional liquid
  • To prevent berries from sinking to the bottom of baked goods, throw in some flour before folding into the batter
