That's my method. We always freeze on trays then bag up so that we can
use a few at a time (it's called fre-flow packing). The large fruits are
cut in half, damaged ones have the bad bits removed, and the trays are
lined with greaseproof sheets,a actually the linings of breakfast cereal
packets. Any fuit can be treated this way, blackberries, raspberries and
any other berries (strawberries need a special method), apples, plums,
gooseberries, blackcurrants. We now find that frozen raspberries still
make good jam which sets without added pectin.
