Can you freeze Strawberries?

Yes. Strawberries keeps 6–8 months in the freezer when stored in airtight packaging.

Freeze strawberries dry and unwashed, or wash and dry them thoroughly first. Hull them, spread on a tray to freeze solid, then transfer to bags so they stay loose rather than freezing into one clump. They keep 6–8 months. Thawed berries are soft and juicy — ideal for smoothies, sauces, jam, and baking, though not for eating whole.
