I’m sorry to hear that you can’t find that ingredient – I know how frustrating that can be.

Thanks for linking to instructions for drying berries – I’m definitely going to try that sometime!

Hi Sara,

I went to several stores but couldn’t find such products here.
So I tried buying dried blueberries and grind them since the manufacturer does not ship outside of the US.

but no luck.

Anyway, thanks for the info

Aida, it’s not fruit that you freeze then put through the food processor. It’s fruit that the manufacturer has already dried (dehydrated), so all of the moisture is gone. When that is put through a food processor or coffee grinder, you end up with a powder.

Does that make sense?

Hi Sara,

I bought a dried blueberry and freeze it. And then I try to grind it but it does’nt become a powder…it’s wet….

Any ideas?

Aida, they’re freeze-dried raspberries, like this: http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/freezedriedraspberrieslargecan.aspx

They’ve already been dried, so if you put them in a food processor or coffee grinder, you’ll get them in powdered form.

Any leftover freeze-dried raspberries are great in cereal.

Hi,

Can you tell me how to make those raspberry powder? How do you dried them? Should be dried enough and put in the freezer for a few minutes then grind it?
Mine was wet when I grind it after taking it out from the freezer.

Thanks

I got about 40 macarons from this recipe (about 1 1/2 inches or 4 cm in diameter).

[...] How is it that I could make perfect croissants from scratch on my first attempt, chocolate and raspberry macarons, brioche, a boule…yet cinnamon rolls and sticky buns eluded me? In two of three attempts, I ended [...]
