I put them on a cookie sheet, keeping them separated so they don’t clump together. They freeze pretty quickly this way – maybe an hour or two. I freeze them whole or sliced, depending on if they are bruised and need to be cut. If they’re really bruised, I’ll mix them with some sugar and lemon juice and eat them chilled (although I’ve heard you can freeze that, too). It makes a nice non-cooked “jam.”

Once the strawberries are frozen, you can put them in a bag or container and they won’t stick together. Saves freezer space

Now that strawberries are about $1.35 a kilo, I’m trying to save some for the summer, but they are mysteriously disappearing…

Interesting post. I never thought of this as a list, but I usually consider these things before shopping. Today was the first time I organized the freezer before going shopping (I wanted the space to flash freeze strawberries), and it was really nice to come home to an empty freezer and just chuck everything in.

These are great tips. We always have space issues, especially with frozen things that are on sale & can last for months…
