If you find fresh strawberries for a great price during these spring and summer months, here’s an effective way to freeze them:
After washing and cutting the tops off your fresh strawberries, put them in ice cube trays [cup cake tins work too] and stick them in the freezer for a few hours. When they’re frozen, put the berries in a freezer container [a plastic bag or a rigid container works] to store long-term.

This will help them freeze individually before you put them in a freezer container. If you freeze them all together in a bag after washing and cutting them, they tend to stick together.
You can also lay them out on a cookie sheet or a platter [not touching each other] and freeze them that way. The point is that they don’t touch while they’re freezing so you have individual frozen strawberries!
Strawberries freeze without losing quality for about 8-12 months.

Thanks for the tip. Does this also help them not to lose their texture? I find that everytime I have frozen srawberries, they are mushy when they are thawed.
Beth, I just use this trick because it helps me freeze the strawberries without them clumping up together. Sadly, they are still mushy when thawed, but I mostly use them for fresh fruit smoothies, so it makes no difference to me
Genius! I don’t have freezer space for big trays but I do have lots of ice cube trays left from making baby food.
Seems this would work for any fruit cut up or even berries. Even if it was a couple in each cube you would only have small clusters and not big clumps.
Thanks!
