Notes
Why do you need to pre freeze strawberries before freezing them.
To easily separate your strawberries after freezing you need to pre freeze them. If you freeze fresh strawberries they will squish together and become a brick of strawberries.
Do you wash strawberries before or after freezing?I wash strawberries before freezing. This way they are ready to go for your smoothies and other strawberry treats.
How to do you hull a strawberry?
I use a small pairing knife to slide under the green stems and leaves. Use a 45-degree angle cut to remove the strawberry hull. Leave as much of the red berry intact.
