Fresh
- Cook and make jams and jellies
- Use on top of desserts
- Use in your favourite smoothie
- If refrigerating, they will last between 3 -7 days
Freeze
- Do not store in water
- Simply put pre-measured amounts in freezer bags or containers
- Properly stored, they will maintain best quality for 10-12 weeks
Defrost
- To use raw, cover and place in the fridge to thaw for several hours or overnight.
- Defrosting slowly will help the strawberries remain firmer than quickly defrosting at room temperature.
- To use cooked, add to your pan or dish from frozen
