Look for bright red, shiny strawberries that are firm. The caps should be attached and green. Avoid berries that are soft or mushy.
Do not wash strawberries until ready to eat.
This video offers strawberry cutting tips.
Fresh: Strawberries can be eaten fresh on cereal, yogurt or alone as a healthy snack. You can also add strawberries to salads to make a sweet, tangy addition.
Macerate: You can soften strawberries to make a sauce (macerate) for strawberry shortcakes, ice cream, or pancakes. To macerate strawberries, cut them to desired size, place in bowl, and mix in a little sugar. Let them sit on the counter for about two hours and you have a very nice syrup.
Refrigerate strawberries for 1 to 3 days. Wash just before use.
Strawberries are a great fruit for long term storage. They are most commonly frozen or made into jellies and jams.
