- 1-4 lbs. fresh strawberries
Rinse strawberries in a colander to remove any visible dirt and then dry thoroughly with a dish towel.
Using a small paring knife, cut around the stem of each strawberry to remove it as well as some of what’s underneath. Repeat this with the remaining strawberries until they have all been hulled. You can either keep the strawberries whole or cut them in half at this point.
Place the strawberries in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 3-4 hours or up to overnight.
Once firm, transfer the berries to a freezer-safe bag and write the date on the front. Store in the freezer for up to a year.
