Strawberries
Information
- store strawberries in the packaging you bought them in and refrigerate for freshness
- remove them from the fridge and bring to room temperature before eating
- if you have a lot of strawberries and want to freeze them, lay them out individually on a tray and put into the freezer
- when they're firm, put them into bags
- another way of keeping them is to put them in a food processor with 2 to 3 tablespoons of caster sugar and then freeze
- put them through a sieve if you want to remove the fine pips
- they are not the best fruits to freeze because they break down and become mushy when defrosted, but they can be use in ice creams, trifles and souffl茅s, or as a fruit sauce for ice cream.
- wash strawberries and place individually in ice cube trays, freeze and use instead of ice cubes in drinks
