Notes
This recipe works equally well with frozen or fresh berries. Frozen berries are convenient and picked at their peak of freshness. Fresh berries always feel like summer when we pick them from our berry bushes, u-pick farms, or farmer’s markets.
If you use frozen berries, thaw the berries and drain excess liquid in a strainer. You can do this by putting the bag in a tupperware (in case the bag leaks) overnight in the fridge or put the frozen berries in the strainer and run water over them until they are thawed – about 5 minutes.
