Summer is over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy strawberries. Keep these delightful berries fresh by NOT washing or cutting them until needed. Store them in the refrigerator in a plastic bag with holes poked in it. If you happen on a bargain or a bounty, you can freeze them too. Wash and remove stems. You can slice if you desire. So they won’t form into a frozen block, spread on a cookie sheet and freeze overnight, then transfer to a freezer bag. This way you can portion and save the rest. Eat very soon after thawing. Another tip: one bad strawberry can spoil the bunch. Toss it so it’s microorganisms don’t migrate to the other berries.
