Strawberries have always provided a sweet gem to be preserved and enjoyed even in the darkest part of winter. And, they are so easy to put up while in season! Cut tops off berries, wash and pat dry, then spread on wax paper-lined baking sheets and place in the freezer. When berries are frozen hard, place in freezer bags or containers and refreeze until ready to use.  Fresh strawberries help your family eat a diet that is rich in fruits. Enjoy these gems both in savory and dessert foods. Impress guests with a classic shortcake or sink your teeth into something new - strawberry chutney slathered on grilled pork loin. Yum!   [tasty-recipe id="37484"]   [tasty-recipe id="37490"]   [tasty-recipe id="37498"]
