Cleaning Berries

Cleaning Raspberries with out mashing them to pieces can be very difficult. Here is a hint to hopefully make it easier to wash your berries with out mashing them.

Place the berries into a colander and fill the sink with cool water. Gently push the colander into the water just until the berries are covered. Lift the conlander from the water and repeat.

Now lie an absorbant towel on the counter and gently pour the berries onto the towel to dry.

This process will also work for blackberries, boysenberry or other soft berries.
