How to Freeze Cranberries

Step 1

Pick through the cranberries and discard ones that are too tender.

Step 2

Place them in a colander and run them under water. Let them air dry for several minutes. Gently pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Place the cranberries in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for 3 hours, or until frozen solid.

Step 4

Break apart berries that have clumped together, if any. Place them into freezer-safe bags or containers.

Step 5

Label the containers accordingly and freeze. Frozen cranberries will keep well for up to a year.
