Strawberries
Instructions
Wash the strawberries with cold water and drain using a colander.
Transfer strawberries to a kitchen towel and spread out on the towel. Allow 15-20 minutes for them to air dry.
Slice off the green tops and then slice the strawberries in half.
Spread the strawberries in a single layer on a freezer safe rimmed baking tray.
Freeze for 2-4 hours, being careful not to leave longer than 4 hours since they will get freezer burn.
Transfer the frozen strawberries to freezer bags or freezer safe containers and seal. Return to the freezer and store for up to one year.
Notes
Tip:
Cut the strawberries into uniform pieces for easier defrosting.
