The best tip I've ever heard

You can freeze berries when you buy too many. Gently wash them, then pat dry, arrange in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze. That way they don't freeze together in one giant clump. Place in a freezer bag, and pick them out as you see fit. You can do this to strawberries, raspberries or blackberries. If you freeze blueberries, don't wash first, since it can toughen the skin. Instead, was the thawed blueberries before using them.

I have a bunch of strawberries this year, so I'm looking forward to trying this out. Praise Jesus for Kraft Food + Family magazine. It's truly awesome.
