I go to sam's club and buy 6 pound bags of big fresh frozen strawberries.
while they are still frozen I run them through my quisenart and slice them into slender frozen slices of strawberries. I then put the sliced frozen strawberries back into the six pound bag. whenever I want a treat, i pour one cup of heavy whipping cream in the blender and froth it up. I then add a couple large handfuls of frozen strawberry slices and blend away! the result is very delicious strawberry ice cream. I used to and splenda but found that I didn't need it. give it a try! I used to eat bacon for breakfast ... now I wrap my bacon around scallaps I tell you ... life just keeps getting better and better!

Maybe buy a bunch fresh, before the price goes up, then freeze them? I don't care for the texture of frozen strawberries, so I rarely bother with either purchased or home frozen. When they go out of season, I buy frozen blueberries and blackberries which I think are very good. Great with yogurt or cottage cheese, or topped with a little sweetened whip cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I just consider strawberries a seasonal treat for the summer. HG Supposedly if you freeze the berries using dry ice, they won't be mushy. Here's Alton Brown's technique for doing this (see www.foodtv.com): 1 quart strawberries, de-stemmed 1 (3 pound) block dry ice Wash strawberries and place in a paper towel-lined colander. Cover with another paper towel and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Break your dry ice into small pieces, and toss with berries in a large bowl. Place into a container and cover with a towel. Place this in a cooler for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove berries and put into sealable bags and store in the freezer. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

... The price of strawberries will soon go up. With the change of seasons. I refuse to pay the price of fresh ones in the fall, and winter months. I don't care too much for the frozen ones. But, I will probably buy them frozen, because I love strawberries in yogurt so much. Blueberries too, and sometimes blackberries. Is there any other thoughts to this, from anyone? Maybe buy a bunch fresh, before the price goes up, then freeze them? Or what ways to make the frozen ones taste better? I was thinking running them through a food processer, or grinding them up, adding splenda. Or even some low sugar jelly or jam, in replace of the fresh fruit? Frozen strawberries taste fantastic in jello. Make one packet of sugar-free jello, and put it in a large dish. Add as many frozen strawberries as possible. Then you can take strawberries out of that dish (after the jello sets - which will be super fast) to use in your yogurt, etc. -- Spring LC since 1/1/04 260/208/170 http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/spr...=/55b8&.src=ph Size: 24W / 14 / 10 |

Blueberries too, and sometimes blackberries. I partially freeze berries on a cookie sheet to keep them separate. Then I double bag into freezer bags, squeezing the air out. This seems to work fairly well for keeping them a few months. I do the same except I use my food saver vacuum machine. I have strawberries from the strawberry festival in my freezer with zer freezer burn (from 1st of April). Food saver is one of my best investments. Diane |
