1 pint raspberries
2 pints strawberries Freeze Your Own Strawberries

a low price, or head over to a “pick your own” farm. Then,
have a strawberry-freezing party and invite the family over
to help. To freeze, cut the stems out of unwashed strawber-
ries. Make sure the strawberries are completely dry. Lay
them on a wax paper–lined cookie sheet and freeze them for
2–4 hours, until they begin to firm up. This way the strawber-
ries will freeze separately and not in one big clump. Then,
scoop all the strawberries into a freezer-safe bag for storing
in the freezer. They will last 10–12 months, but don’t forget
to rinse them off before you use them.
