Ingredients

1 quart blackberries (or however many you have!)

Instructions

Gather your blackberries, then sort through them for any bugs or rotten fruit.
Using cool water, wash your blackberries well. You may even opt for a apple cider vinegar bath if the berries are store-bought.
Using a dark towel or paper towels, pat the blackberries gently until they are thoroughly dry.
On a wax paper lined baking tray, arrange the blackberries in a single layer.
Place the trays flat in the freezer and let freeze overnight (or 8 hours).
Working with one tray at a time (leave the others in the freezer), fill small baggies and return them to the freezer. Store up to a year in the freezer!
