How to freeze strawberries
It is strawberry season and few things are better then taking my kids with me to the strawberry patch to pick some berries. Then coming home to enjoy the sweet and juicy taste of fresh picked strawberries. Or I find an amazing deal on them at the store and I stock up. I know we will use them both fresh and frozen so it makes for a great way for me to save money.
We keep strawberries, both fresh and frozen on hand at all times because we like them all year round in smoothies, muffins and other things.
If we have an abundance of strawberries then we freeze them, it is SUPER easy to do. Not only does it mean I have them on hand for later, but it also keeps them from going bad and us having to throw them away.
