When you find yourself caught with too many berries and not enough time or inclination to make a pie or a jam, try freezing them like this.
First, trim the stem and any bad spots.
Rinse on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper, place the strawberries so they don’t touch each other.
Put the sheet in the freezer for a couple of hours, or until hard. Then put all the hard strawberries in a Ziploc freezer bag. Since they are already frozen, they won’t stick together.
You can then enjoy them one at a time for some time to come, like mini popsicles…without the sugar.
