Putting up Strawberries

I live in Florida we have a strawberry season so in order to get fresh picked strawberries we have to get them right from the plant. There are many ways to put them up you can put them in jars, cans, freeze them, make into wine, and so on... here is an easy freezing method.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4-1/2 quarts

12 pints

strawberries, 1 flat see note below

4-1/2 cup

sugar

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

After you get your berries wash them because they will be filthy. Take out any bad ones.

* Step 2

Remove the stems

* Step 3

Slice them up and put them in a huge bowl.

* Step 4

Add the sugar.

* Step 5

Stir and let maceration take place oh about 15-20 minutes, then the juices really form.

* Step 6

Put them into ziploc bags and freeze the ones to don't need at that time.

* Step 7

I hope this helps you!!

* Step 8

Note there is little plastic pint square cups that fill up a flat, that is a flat of berries. If they are in see thru plastic sealed containers set into a flat box you are getting old berries picked at least a day to a week before. Not cool because you actually are getting old berries and only 2/3- 3/4's of an actual flat of berries. The picture that is shown are 6, half of the real pint cups in a whole flat which holds a total of 12 of these cups. Don't get ripped off.
