Recipe Notes

Here are some tips for baking with fresh strawberries that will help you get the best out of this delicious fruit:

When selecting strawberries to use in recipes, choose ones that are not too soft or mushy. Look for bright red strawberries that have a sweet fragrance.

Wash and dry the strawberries before using them in a recipe. Make sure you remove the stems and leaves. Dry them with a paper towel and remove any excess moisture before storing.

If the recipe you're preparing, calls for the strawberries to be sliced or chopped, try to keep the size the same so they cook evenly.

Strawberries release a lot of juice when baked, which can make your dish soggy. To avoid this, use a thickening agent like cornstarch, flour, or tapioca starch to thicken the strawberry filling.

Storage Tips

After washing the strawberries, pat them dry with a paper towel before storing them.

Fresh strawberries should be stored in the refrigerator. Place them in in a container lined with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. I like to store strawberries in mason jars lined with coffee filters!

Freezing Tips

If you have extra strawberries that you can't use right away, freeze them for long-term storage.

Hull and slice the strawberries, and then place them on a baking tray that's been lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in the freezer to flash freeze the strawberries.

Once the strawberries are frozen, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.
