Description
This is a very quick and fool proof way to preserve strawberries. It is easily customizable to any amount of strawberries you have on hand.
Ingredients
Scale
- Strawberries (hulled and cut into quarters)
- 1 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries by washing and drying. Once dry, hull and quarter strawberries.
- How to Hull Strawberries: Pull back the leaves of each strawberry so you can see the stem. Insert a small knife (paring knife works best if you have it) at a slight angle as close to the stem as you can. Cut a circle around the stem. Remove the hull and discard.
- After strawberries are all hulled and sliced, begin adding them to quart size freezer bags, being mindful not to overfill each bag.
- Add 1 tbsp sugar to each bag. If you prefer strawberries to be sweeter, you can add an additional 2-3 tbsp.
- Seal bag, label, and store!
Notes
Store each bag laying flat in your freezer. This will not only save space, but cut down on the time it takes to thaw each bag.
Properly sealed and stored strawberries should last in the freezer for up to 6 months.
If using larger bags (e.g. gallon size) increase the amount of sugar to up to 1/4 cup per bag. This is customizable depending on how sweet you prefer your strawberries to be.
Use your preserved strawberries in smoothies, pies, cakes, jams, syrups, and more!
