Strawberry Tips

  • Hull strawberries and rinse gently right before serving. Careful storing and handling will help the berries maintain maximum flavor, colour and texture.

  • Place the berries in cool, well ventilated containers (32 to 40 F / 0 to 5 C). The moisture content of fresh strawberries is high, so store uncovered or loosely covered.

  • Sort and remove any bruised or damaged berries as soon as possible, being in contact with spoiled fruit can cause good fruit to go bad quicker.

  • The size of the strawberry is not important. All strawberries, large and small, have the potential to be equally sweet and juicy.

  • To keep strawberries from absorbing large quantities of water, hull after washing. A salad spinner works well for removing excess water from berries.

  • When buying, look for plump, bright red, fully ripe berries. The top leaves should be attached, green and fresh looking.

  • Put ordinary drinking straws to good use. To hull strawberries, use a sturdy plastic straw. Push it up through the bottom of the strawberry and through the top. It does a great job quickly and neatly. The berries look excellent if you want to leave them whole.

  • For strawberries and cream, the best way to present the strawberries is to cut off the top and stalk, then quarter them from top to bottom (customers at my hotel find them most pleasing presented in this way). For the cream and a dash of brandy, some caster sugar and a little cinnamon and whip until stiff.

  • Take off leaves and wash. Place upside down whole on a paper towel on a plate. Put into the refrigerator. They will last for several days like this.

  • Sprinkle a little Splenda on sliced strawberries instead of sugar. They seem to stay fresh longer.
