Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries
Instructions
Wash
- Wash all of your strawberries under cold water to remove any dirt or bacteria that might be on them.Pat them dry and then allow them to air dry on a paper towel or dishtowel.
Trim
- Hull the strawberries by cutting off the tops where the green leafy stem is. There are other ways to do this as well by using a hulling tool or cutting around the stem from the top side. It can also be as easy as giving the stem and leaves a little pull and twist and it will pop right off.
Cut
- If you choose to freeze your strawberries sliced or cut up into smaller pieces, it is best to do that now before you freeze them
Flash freeze
- Lay out your whole or sliced strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them apart so that they do not freeze together.Freeze overnight or until they are frozen solid.
Storage
- Once they are frozen solid place them into a freezer-safe bag or container. Remove as much air as possible and place them back into the freezer. They will last 12-18 months frozen.
