Finally, this blog is going to tackle a controversial
subject.
How long should you freeze the strawberries?
The Collective Wisdom of the Internet was not in
agreement. I heard everything from “20
minutes,” to “2-3 hours (not overnight)”, to “24 hours.”
I decided to deal with the issue by opting for what was most
convenient to me: a couple of hours. I
must not be feeling scientific today because this process is ripe for a
meticulous experiment.
People who have garage sale pricing hanging over their head
apparently don’t feel like doing science.
Maybe next week. Or next
year.
I washed and dried the freshest strawberries I could get my hands on. If they are wet, you supposedly get more freezer burn. |
I cut them up and put the on waxed paper on a cookie sheet. This step keeps them from becoming frozen in a solid and unwieldy mass. |
I froze them for a couple of hours. |
Packaged based on final destination: my oatmeal. This should be three servings worth. |
Since we are drowning in strawberries right now, I am curious if this will help spread out that sweet taste of summer. I'll keep you posted!
UPDATE: It worked just fine!
