Strawberry season is short, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy these farm-fresh fruits all year long. Follow these steps to properly freeze strawberries!
You’ll need:
4-6 lbs fresh strawberries
Half baker sheets (fit best in most freezers)
Parchment paper
Paring knife
To freeze:
Gently wash berries under tap water. If berries are mushy or damaged, remove them.
Spread your berries out on a towel and allow them to air dry.
Using your paring knife, hull the berries by removing the stem and the bit underneath. You can also just slice the top of the berry off, but you get more of the fruit with hulling.
Line baker sheets with parchment paper and freeze the berries overnight.
When completely frozen, put berries in heavy duty freezer bags and label with the date.
Frozen strawberries will last up to one year.
