Freezing Strawberries
I have been lucky enough to get strawberries and blueberries at Aldi’s for .99/container, lately. I missed picking berries, seems like our season here was very short because of the wet, cool weather. But, I still wanted to put some in the freezer.
My son was helping me, I had him wash, clean and slice the strawberries and sprinkle Fruit Fresh on them. Then he laid them on a cookie sheet to freeze.
I took them off the cookie sheet and put them in a Ziploc that I marked with the date.
While putting the strawberries in the bag, I happened to think it would taste really good to use them like ice cubes in a glass with lemonade.
Yum! It was a quick refreshing summer drink. Gayle over at The Grocery Cart Challenge recently shared her recipe for Strawberry Lemonade, which we made last week, it was great too.
We can also use them to make Strawberry Banana Smoothies. And if you missed them, here are more strawberry recipes and here.

I like this idea!!! I LOOOOOVE strawberries and never thought to freeze them. They’ve been .99 at our store too and I didn’t buy a lot, because I didn’t want them to go bad, but to use them as an ice cube is genius!
Come stop by my blog ~ I’m sharing a tasty thing I found that works for me and my daughter, which you’ll see LOL. Plus I have a little info on a Non-BlogHer party going on with GIVEAWAYS and fun!! http://www.garibaysoup.com

I wonder if lemon juice would work in place of Fruit Fresh… I might have to do some experimenting since I don’t have access to that here! Thanks for the tip =)

I still haven’t found strawberries for that price, but when I do… you can bet I’ll be all over them!
