Picking Tips & After Care
AFTER CARE
-
Store the berries in the coolest part of your home (refrigerator, basement, garage floor, etc.)
-
Do not remove hulls before washing
-
Do not rinse off berries until you're ready to use them
-
Grade your berries -- use ripest ones first
Freezing Strawberries
-
Wash, hull, and slice into large, shallow pan. Sweeten -- ¾ cup sugar to 4 cups prepared berries. Stir and let stand in pan until sugar dissolves (just a few minutes), then put into freezer containers leaving ½ inch head space for expansion. Put into freezer immediately. Berries can also be crushed, then sweetened and frozen.
Using Frozen Strawberries
-
Thaw only until berries can be broken apart. Serve while fruit still has ice crystals for fresh-like flavor!
How to Pick
-
Pinch & twist, leaving the caps on.
-
Grasp the stem just above the berry between the forefinger and the thumbnail and pull with a slight twisting motion. Leaving the caps on will help your berries stay fresher for longer. Remove caps only when you are ready to use the berries
-
Pick thoroughly, making sure you are getting all the berries that are ripe.
Pick Ripe Berries
-
Select firm, fully red, ripe berries
-
Strawberries DO NOT ripen after they are picked. Most varieties will reach their peak flavor when they are completely red.
-
Look carefully for berries under the leaves and along both edges of the row
