Don't wash them before freezing, as you want the berries to be as dry as possible. This is particularly important with raspberries as washing them can damage the fruit.

#Sift through the berries and remove any debris or damaged berrries.
#Place them on a single layer on a rimmed cookie sheet, leaving space between the berries so they don't freeze together.
#Freeze for several hours, until they are frozen solid. I've sometimes left them over night.
#remove the tray from the freezer and pour the rock hard berries in resealable bags.
#Freeze for up to a year (although they won't last that long.)
#Rinse in a seize before using.
