Use this method if you plan on using your frozen blackberries for desserts like pies or muffins.
Equipment
- Clean, dry blackberries
- A mixing spoon
- A measuring cup (1/2 cup)
- A medium-sized bowl
- Granulated sugar
- A clean, airtight freezer-friendly container
- Freezer labels

Instructions
- Pour the clean, dry blackberries into a bowl. Sprinkle sugar over the blackberries—you'll need 1/4 cup of sugar for every 2 cups of blackberries.
- With your mixing spoon, gently mix the blackberries and the sugar together until the berries are evenly coated in sugar. Do not crush the berries.
