I unpacked the groceries and sliced off the tops of the strawberries, into a couple of freezer bags and Ta-Da! I have some red, sweet, yummy treats for winter! ....
I do this with most all of my fresh fruits. I go to the farmers market, buy up melons, berries, peaches, pineapples, etc, come home slice them up and freeze them. I juice a lot and make smoothies so need the fruits often. I also buy plenty of bags of cranberries when they are on sale during the holidays and freeze those also for my smoothies and fresh juices.
