How to Freeze Strawberries

Strawberry season is in full swing-but it won't be long until they're gone! One of the simplest ways to preserve strawberries is to freeze them. Here is what you will need:

Cookie Sheet
Wax Paper
Colander
Knife
Freezer Bags
Lots of juicy, local, in-season strawberries :)

Step-by-Step Directions:
Wash and Hull the strawberries, leaving them intact
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper
Lay strawberries top down, so they aren't touching on the cookie sheet
Place in the freezer until they are frozen
Remove from the freezer, put the frozen strawberries into plastic freezer bags
Date bags, and place them back into the freezer, for up to 3 months


Frozen strawberries are great for smoothies! No need for ice! Just pop in some frozen strawberries, juice, bananas, and yogurt into the blender for a classic smoothie that everyone's sure to love.
