Freezing fruit

KTFrugal

You get the best results if you freeze berries on a baking sheet, then once they are frozen, package them up. This way, you don't get a big wodge of fruit mush when you want to use them up.

Strawberries, alas, defy even this process. Make jam, instead...

In last months Country Living mag there were instructions for dried strawberries (like in Special K Red Berries etc) - slice them about 50mm thick, arrange them in a single layer, not touching, on baking parchment lines baking sheets. Dry in an oven on the lowest setting for around 12 hours, turning once. Store in a container in a cool dark place. They say to make sure that they really are dry or they may rot, lengthen the drying if needed.
Haven't tried it but I will soon, I have 30+ strawberry plants all threatening to fruit at once....
