Ingredients
2 pounds fresh strawberries (1 kg)

Instructions
Start by washing the strawberries. Washing the berries before freezing is highly recommended to remove any dirt in them.
Discard the berries that are soft and squishy.
Take a large bowl filled with water and add ½ cup of white vinegar to it. Soak the strawberries in this mixture for a minute. The dirt will settle down. Do not soak the berries for longer than 1 minute; otherwise, they will lose their flavor and quality.
Gently remove the strawberries from the top of the water and spread them on an absorbent tea towel. Air dry for 40-60 minutes.
Now chop off the top with the leaves from the strawberries and remove any blemishes if they have them.
Note – Some people hull the strawberries, that is, remove the white part using a pairing knife, but I never do that and still get perfectly frozen strawberries.
Note – At this stage, you can cut the strawberries into half, puree them, or chop them into small pieces.
Arrange the strawberries on a baking tray in a single layer. Ensure the strawberries do not touch each other on the tray to avoid clumping.
Note – You can also line the baking sheet with parchment paper so the strawberries won’t stick to the sheet.
Freeze for 6-8 hours until each strawberry is frozen.
Collect the frozen strawberries and put them in a zip-lock bag. Seal the bag and freeze the strawberries until you want to use them.
Tip – Use a straw to remove as much air as possible before sealing the bag to avoid the formation of ice crystals. It’s also good to label the bag with the date of freezing.

Notes
Just make sure to buy fully ripe, firm, and sweet strawberries to freeze.
Opt for strawberries that are bright red and glossy. There should be no green or white streaks.
Do not opt for deep red strawberries; they might be overripe and will turn mushy once thawed.
The best time of the year to freeze strawberries is when they are in season: April to late June. They are also the cheapest in this time frame.
Try to get your hands on organically grown berries. The farmer’s market is a great place to buy organically grown strawberries.
