Check it out at WFMW, hosted by We Are THAT Family!I LOVE picking fresh strawberries and having them in the house during strawberry season. But we've learned how to "stretch the season" by freezing!!!
My first year freezing, I washed, capped and dried each strawberry. I stored them in quart sized ziploc bags... but I barely used them!! I tried thawing them in order to cut them to put over pancakes, too mushy. I could MASH them to put into breads, but then it took forever for them to really be thawed (unless I thawed them in the fridge the night before... LOL... that takes planning).
Last year I spoke to many women who are "good freeze-ers":) Anyway, they all recommended freezing the strawberries the same way I would use them.... so I want them sliced in circles to put on top of pancakes and diced to put into muffins and breads:) So that is what we did...
And all winter we were able to have strawberries on top of our pancakes and strawberries easily added to our sweet breads:) Yummm... so that is what we'll be doing again THIS year!!I'm just thankful for my helper!! Who likes to watch TV or a movie while he works... looks like a commercial in the pic... LOL!
Smoothies, strawberry pie. What do you use strawberries in the freezer for? Maybe you could give me a new use:)
You can also get a glimpse of my new dining room wall color... We have a couple of pieces to move around before I take my final pics:)

That would be a lot of work, but it would be nice to have it done whenever you are ready for strawberries. I like your wall color. Can't wait to see the pics.
Fantastic tip, thank you!
What a great idea, my daughter eats these everyday diced with a little sprinkle of sugar on them. I think I am going to have to stock up on them while they are only .99 at Aldi's and throw them in the freezer.
always a great idea to store and freeze especially fresh or at a great price
Great tip, thank you. I mostly use frozen strawberries in smoothies, but it would be nice to have sliced ones around for other uses. I'm going to try canning some homemade preserves this month :)
