Strawberries are sweet, refreshing and just a little bit cheeky. Best of all: they're fat-free and healthy. Unfortunately, these berries are in season for a relatively short period of time. Freeze them now, and use them throughout the year.

Take action:
You can freeze strawberries with a mixture of sugar and ascorbic acid (get this from your pharmacist), but it is generally better to freeze lightly boiled berries to which sugar has been added. Use small containers, remove air and freeze rapidly in the coolest part of the freezer to prevent large ice crystals from forming. Thaw at room temperature and serve cold.
