How to Freeze Strawberries
Report
Here's how to freeze strawberries, before the fresh ones you have on hand spoil. They make a great smoothie ingredient, and are also perfect for making jams and desserts.

Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries to remove and dirt, and pat them dry with a towel. Slice the hulls (green leaves) off the top with a knife. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- You can freeze strawberries whole, or sliced in half. I like to slice them in half so that they will blend easier in smoothies later. Arrange the strawberries in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. (I arrange them cut-side down.)
- Place the pan of strawberries in a freezer to freeze until firm, at least 2 hours. Once the strawberries are frozen solid, you can transfer them to an airtight storage bag or container with a lid. They will be individually frozen, rather than stuck in a big clump, so they will be easy to measure for recipes later!
- Frozen strawberries can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. (Possibly even longer, but they may start to lose their flavor.)

Notes
- You can use this method for freezing any other berries, too! You won't need to cut raspberries or blueberries in half before freezing, so the process is even faster.
