How many of you love to pick strawberries? If you’re like me you love to go and pick them fresh off the plants but then you you feel you have to eat them within a couple of days or they all go bad. So you find yourself making strawberry shortcake, strawberry pie, strawberries & cream, And just about anything strawberry you can think of. My mother-in-law taught me a trick years ago and it’s become my favorite of ours.
When you purchase or pick your strawberries fresh from the strawberry patch, cap them all then rinse. Divide them & place them in quart size freezer bags with 1/2 cup to 3/4 cups of sugar. I usually divide them in small portions so that I can pull them out for single servings. Then place in the freezer.
When ready to eat pull them out and let them thaw in the refrigerator 6 to 8 hours where on the countertop two hours.
You’ll be so surprised how fresh and delicious they taste just as if you just picked them😊
