See how easy it is to freeze strawberries for smoothies all year long on gracefullittlehoneybee.com

  I absolutely love growing or buying in season produce that I can preserve and use all year long. There’s nothing quite like the flavor of fresh, in season strawberries which is why I freeze them in the spring for making smoothies the rest of the year. The kids and I LOVE to go pick fresh strawberries every spring and luckily, berries are one of the easiest things to freeze, so I’m excited to share with you how to do that today.

  You can also check out my tutorial on How to Freeze Blueberries and if you have an abundance of fresh strawberries, be sure to check out my recipe for 3-Ingredient Strawberry Freezer Jam. It’s a super simple recipe for making jam, no cooking required. Alright, are you ready to start freezing some fresh strawberries? Let’s get started with the easy tutorial on How to Freeze Strawberries.

Step 1: Choose ripe, blemish free berries.

Step 4: Lay berries on cooking sheet in single layer and freeze for one hour. (this is called flash freezing)

Step 5: After one hour has passed, remove berries from freezer and place in a labeled freezer bag. Close bag removing as much air as possible.

Step 6: Freeze flat. Will last 6 months in freezer and up to one year in deep freezer.

    Because they're in season, I was just thinking about stocking up at the grocery store, but I wasn't sure how to freeze them! What a timely post!

    Once they're frozen, can they be thawed and eaten plain or best in smoothies/other recipes?

      They will be mushy and not good to eat raw after they have thawed.

      They will be mushy if you thaw them. They won't be good for fresh eating, just for baking, making smoothies, popsicles, jams, etc.

    I have frozen them From Leisure Farm and I eat them just like fresh berries. Just don't let them thaw 100%. Eat them either frozen or about 75% thawed

      A regular freezer that is attached to your refrigerator won't keep food as long as a deep freezer because you will be opening it more often.
