Eat them or Freeze them? Eat them straight up or doll them up into a something special? Oh the decisions!
How to Freeze Strawberries-
- Gently wash all the berries and then hull out the stem (we love this huller gadget!).
- Little helpers can then line the berries up in one layer evenly on a cookie sheet. (If they aren’t on a flat sheet, the berries will clump and freeze together).
- Place them as is in the freezer overnight.
- In the morning you will have perfectly frozen, individual berries that you can store in a zippered bag or container to pop into smoothies or recipes well past strawberry season.
- We love to add thawed berries to the top of frozen yogurt or vanilla ice cream!
