Strawberry - the berry is very juicy, so its freezing does not always lead to a good result. After defrosting from the berries, all moisture flows and an unsightly mass of brown-brown remains on the plate. There are several techniques, with which you can save strawberries for the winter.
Preparation of strawberries for freezing
What do we have to do:
- Never freeze strawberries, pre-washed in water. With water procedures, the strawberries are additionally drinking moisture. Therefore, the yoke for freezing is not worth buying in the market from unfamiliar suppliers - the bazaar or shop strawberry will necessarily be washed. It is better to grow it at your own cottage and collect it immediately before booking in the freezer. The beds with strawberries should be covered with Loutrasil or film so that the strawberry is clean.
- You can not break with strawberry tails with cups. If this is done, then the strawberry will begin to let the juice will break its density.
- Berries for freezing It is necessary to take only the whole and strong.
The process of frosting strawberries
Strawberry it is better to frost in two stages. First, clean dry berries need to be decomposed into one layer on a flat plate or board and place it in the freezer. At the same time it is necessary to ensure that individual berries come into contact with each other. After the strawberry becomes solid, it is to try to take it very quickly from the plate and shift into a package or container. The second is preferable, because then the berries will not be additionally injured, even if the container sometimes have to move. After the strawberry is placed in the freezer, it is worth clicking on the "Fast Freezing" button on the refrigerator panel.
Variations of frost strawberries
Strawberry can be frozen in several ways:
- Whole berries. It is necessary to do this as described above.
- Berries in the fill. For this method, all berries collected on the garden will be suitable. Strawberry need to go through, and the strongest and with the tails lay out in small plastic containers. The rest of the strawberry (crumpled or without tails) can be folded into a blender and kill it. Optionally, sugar is added to this puree (for example, 1 kg of strawberry puree to take from 200 to 500 g of sugar). Berries in the container are completely flooded with a sweet or natural strawberry puree and it closes with a lid. The container is further installed in the freezer and the button "Fast freezing" button is pressed again. Berry, frozen in mashed potatoes, after defrosting keeps the form much better than frozen in the usual way.
- Strawberry puree. In this way, you can use when strawberries are not very conditioned, i.e. Crown and pitched. It must be rebuilding, if necessary, even wash it. If the strawberries had to wash, then it must be cut on the towel. Next the strawberries to kill a blender or simply stretch the fork and mix with sugar sand. Sugar rate per 1 kg of strawberry mass - 1 kg. Mass must be given time to stand up sugar completely dissolved. Then the strawberry puree can be decomposed at least in containers, even on jars with screwing lids, even even on plastic bottles. Freeze this workpiece is also better with a specific program.
Freeze strawberry correct thing is quite troublesome. But no less troublesome business and her defrost. In order for berries or mashed potatoes, the strawberry requires a slow defrost. Having delivered it from the freezer, the container or a jar must be left in the fridge on the shelf. The temperature of the refrigerator will not give berries to know very quickly, so they will almost completely retain their color and consistency. Re-frozen strawberries are categorically not allowed - the product will completely deteriorate. To prevent this, it is better to freeze with a strawberry in small portions, i.e. On a family dinner or for the preparation of a specific dish.
