* BUYING: Look for firm, plump berries with deep color. Avoid mashed or overripe fruit, which might be moldy. Purchase extra fruit in-season and freeze for later use.
* STORING: Store unwashed berries in the refrigerator for up to three days. Place them in a shallow container on a paper towel to absorb moisture. Leave uncovered. Rinse just before using.
* WASHING: Place berries in a colander over the sink and spray them with cold water. Gently shake the basket to remove excess water.
* FREEZING: Place washed berries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with a paper towel. Gently pat dry with a second paper towel. Place baking sheet in freezer until fruit is solid. Transfer fruit to a self-sealing plastic bag. Berries will keep in freezer for up to one year.
* USING: Add to salads; use as a filling for pies and cobblers; add to sauces for poultry and meats; puree and serve over ice cream or cakes; make jam.
