The first few days after the first strawberry harvest begins to ripen, the berries are eaten just like that. Then they start serving them with cream and sugar, and when they have had their fill, they are used for preserves.

One popular method is freezing. Here's how to do it.

Freezing fresh

The strawberries need to be washed, stems removed and dried on a paper towel. Then the berries need to be laid out on a tray or baking sheet and put in the freezer for 3-4 hours. After that, the strawberries can be transferred to freezer bags or containers.

Freezing with sugar

To do this, you need to mix strawberries with sugar in a 1:1 ratio. The mixture needs to be mixed well and placed in bags or containers.

Freezing puree

The strawberries need to be washed, stems removed, dried and chopped in a blender. The resulting puree needs to be poured into an ice cube tray and frozen. Then the puree cubes need to be put into a bag or container and stored in the freezer.
