Strawberries have better texture and flavor when sweetened 

 with dry sugar before freezing. One cup of sugar with 5 to 

 8 cups of fruit gives good results. After adding the sugar, 

 turn the berries over and over until all the sugar is dissolved 

 and juice is formed for covering the berries when packed. 



1 . Carefully sort and cap strawberries. Do not use 

 berries that are green, crushed, or overripe. 



4. Fill containers to within 1 inch from top. Cover 

 berries with juice. If necessary, press down on 

 berries with a spoon until juice covers them.
