Freezing Strawberries

 I saw strawberries on sale today for $0.99 a pint, I had to stock up. My children love smoothies, so I decided to core, wash and freeze them for future use.

I like to lay them all out on a cookie sheet and partially freeze them. This prevents the water and juice from getting into your machine, which makes for a bad seal and could potentially ruin your Foodsaver.

I like to use my Foodsaver whenever I'm freezing anything from fresh fruits and veggies to meats. I know that they will last longer and I don't have to worry  about freezer burn.

 All done and ready for the freezer and future smoothies.
