6 Simple Steps To Freeze Strawberries Effectively
Step 1 to Freeze Strawberries Effectively:
Using the best strawberries: Always choose strawberries that are entirely bright red and glossy looking in order to get great-tasting and sweet strawberries once they are thawed. There should be no green or white streaks.
Step 2 to Freeze Strawberries Effectively:
Washing and drying: Place the strawberries in a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Gently pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towel.
Step 3 to Freeze Strawberries Effectively:
Hulling the berries: Remove the green tops and white centers once the strawberries are dry using a strawberry huller or a paring knife.
Step 4 to Freeze Strawberries Effectively:
Prepping for freezing: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange the hulled strawberries in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch each other. This will prevent them from sticking together during freezing.
Step 5 to Freeze Strawberries Effectively:
Freezing: Place the baking sheet with the strawberries in the freezer and let them freeze. Depending on the size of the strawberries, this usually takes about 2-4 hours.
Step 6 to Freeze Strawberries Effectively:
Transferring to a freezer bag: Once the strawberries are frozen, carefully remove them from the baking sheet and transfer them into a Ziplock bag. Squeeze out any excess air and seal the bag tightly. Don’t forget to label the bag with the date of freezing.
