- Yogurt + berry + granola parfaits
- Strawberry salsa (yes, really—it’s amazing on tacos)
- Homemade jam or freezer jam
- Strawberry shortcake or pound cake
- Chocolate-dipped strawberries
- Strawberry lemonade
To Freeze Your Berries
- Wash, hull, and dry them
- Lay them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid
- Transfer to a freezer bag (label it!)
Make a Simple Strawberry Puree:

- Optional: strain out seeds for a smoother texture
- Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze in small portions (ice cube trays work great!)
You can follow the same steps for blueberries and raspberries too.
