How nice it is in the summer. And all because summer is the time for berries. There is probably no person in the world who would not like to eat a berry. But summer does not last forever, and berries do not grow and ripen all year round, and greenhouse ones are not at all rich in vitamins. To provide yourself with a piece of summer in the form of berries during the cold winter, you can simply freeze them. And then make various tasty treats out of them, and just eat them after defrosting.

Is it possible to freeze berries

There is an opinion that frozen berries are not only tasty, but also not healthy at all. But no, we tell you. Scientists have found that when berries are sent into deep freezing, only ten percent of their beneficial qualities are lost. For comparison, when berries are cooked, the vitamins are completely lost, and when dried, only half remains. The conclusion is not difficult to draw. Deep freezing is the best way to store berries year-round.

In addition, frozen berries will not only provide indispensable help during colds and viral diseases, but will also help make the dishes on your table more tasty, colorful and varied.

Another nuance for those who are losing weight or simply watching their weight: frozen berries are low-calorie. In terms of calorie content, they are on par with fresh ones.

It is best to freeze the berries yourself, following all the rules. Then you will have a wonderful supply for winter times. You can, of course, buy berries in a supermarket, but who knows whether all the rules for storage and transportation were followed. And if the package is closed, then you don’t even know what kind of surprise awaits you. Therefore, do not be lazy, but carry out the freezing process yourself, if possible.

Frozen berry jelly

Before preparing jelly from frozen berries, any housewife needs to know a few basic rules:

If the recipe does not require it, then the berries do not need to be thawed first.
Start cooking by preparing a decoction.
Starch should serve as a thickener. This is what determines how thick the jelly will be.
Before adding starch to the broth, it must be diluted with liquid.
And the last step is the introduction of starch into the broth, gradually.

And finally - video recipe delicious pie with frozen red currants from Alina Kolomoets

Recently, frozen foods have become increasingly popular: berries, fruits, vegetables, mixtures. And this is quite justified: frozen berries are an opportunity to get vitamins and microelements in the winter season; their nutritional value is often higher than that of fresh ones sold in supermarkets; They perfectly preserve the natural aroma and taste and allow you to prepare various dishes. So let's talk today about frozen berries, recipes from frozen berries.

You can freeze almost all “seasonal” berries: raspberries, gooseberries, strawberries, cherries, plums, cranberries, lingonberries, grapes, sea buckthorn, currants, apricots, blackberries and many others.

But the question often arises: what can be prepared from frozen berries? You can, of course, just sprinkle them with sugar after thawing and eat them. But there are many different recipes for cooking dishes that contain frozen berries. Therefore, I will offer you some simple recipes from frozen berries.

Pie filled with frozen strawberries. For the dough we need a glass of flour, butter (100 grams), a packet of baking powder, sugar beaten with eggs (for 100-150 grams of sugar - 2 eggs). We bake a cake from the dough with the edges raised high, place it on a flat dish, and cool. Grease the pie with sweet butter (beat with a mixer or a blender a little butter with 2-3 teaspoons of powdered sugar). Cut the frozen strawberries in half and place tightly on the pie. Make jelly (preferably red) and pour over the berries. When the jelly has hardened, the pie can be decorated with whipped cream.

Very easy and quick to prepare another pie: take two flat cakes of dough (you can take ready-made shortbread, puff pastry, yeast dough), place frozen berries between them. We tightly seal the dough around the perimeter and bake in the oven until a golden crust forms (the pie can be greased with whipped yolk and sugar). Sprinkle the finished pie with powdered sugar and cool. The dough is very well saturated with berry juice, and the pie retains their aroma.

Very easy to prepare with frozen strawberry puff pastry. To prepare them you will need puff pastry (yeast-free). You can also take it frozen. Defrost the dough and at the same time defrost the strawberries (it is better to do this in the refrigerator). Cut the dough into squares, lay out the strawberries, sprinkle them with sugar, wrap them in an “envelope”, and bake in the oven until golden brown.

Smoothie with frozen strawberries. A smoothie is a cocktail of berries or fruits with yogurt. Mix one glass of natural yogurt, orange juice (1/3 cup), 7-8 frozen strawberries in a blender, add sugar to taste. It is better to serve this beauty in a tall transparent glass with a straw.

Frozen berries make very delicious fruit drinks. You can experiment with any berries, I suggest trying this composition: 100 grams of black currants, 3-4 strawberries, 2 tablespoons of lingonberries, sugar to taste. Wash the berries, place in a glass bowl and pour boiling water over them (the water should just cover the berries). Stir until the currants melt. Then add boiling water (up to one liter), add sugar (3 tablespoons), close the container with a lid and leave for 3 hours. We crush the berries, filter the fruit drink, pour it into a decanter or bottle. It is better to serve the fruit drink chilled (you can add ice cubes to it).

Can be cooked fruit drink another way– grind any frozen berries with sugar in a mixer (or blender) and fill the resulting mass with cold boiled water. We filter - and the fruit drink is ready!

Frozen berries can be used for preparing compotes. Chokeberry is a good choice, which will give any compote an amazing rich color, especially in combination with currants and cherries. For one liter of boiling water, it is enough to take one or two handfuls of berries. You can add mint or cinnamon, sugar.

From frozen berries you can cook jelly. Any berries are suitable: sea buckthorn, raspberries, black currants, strawberries, cranberries, chokeberries and mixtures of berries. For a liter of water, just take two handfuls of berries, add sugar to taste, bring to a boil, and pour in starch diluted in water in a thin stream. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly. Cool.

Frozen berries are also a good base. for preparing desserts. Take black currants (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries) - 300-350 grams, powdered sugar (2-3 tablespoons), 150 grams of natural yogurt, a teaspoon of vanilla sugar. Defrost the berries a little and beat with a mixer with vanilla sugar and powdered sugar, add yogurt, and beat for another minute. Place in vases or bowls and decorate with berries.

You can use kefir, cottage cheese, and ice cream as a base for desserts with chopped berries.

New Year is coming soon, so it will be very original to cook New Year's shake (cocktail). To prepare it, you will need a glass of frozen berries, a bottle of champagne, a bottle of white wine, and a little sugar (add to taste). Place the berries and sugar in a wide glass decanter, fill with champagne, and leave for 1.5-2 hours. Add chilled wine and pour into wide glasses along with the berries.

If you are simply defrosting the berries, it is better to do this gradually, in the refrigerator, so that the berries do not lose their appearance and do not leak juice.
