Summer fruit, especially strawberries, are available for too short a time. You can make the season last longer by freezing.

Wash berries under cool running water. Lay out on a paper towel or clean dish towel to dry. Let dry completely before freezing.
Arrange fruit in single layer on a baking sheet. Don't let the berries overlap. Place in the freezer overnight.
