Frozen Lunchbox Strawberries


For the last two weeks Monday and Tuesday were Strawberry days here at my house. I won't tell you how many quarts but I will tell you that I was quite glad to let someone else pick them for me and pay them to do it. I love strawberries but have never enjoyed picking them. Makes me cranky. Anyway some of them went into these small individual serving sized boxes for the lunches that I'm privileged to pack for my family. ☺ (Okay there was a bit of sarcasm in there. I love my family but packing lunches has never quite reached the favorite things to do level.) They are super easy to do and with the help of everyone last evening the last of them went into the freezer for this year. Yay!

7 quarts, coarsley chopped strawberries
3 cups sugar
1 box dry Sure Jell

Mix together and let stand for 10 minutes than stir again and place into freezer containers, size of your choice. They tell me that the strawberries are usually still a little slushy at lunch time when I put them in frozen in the morning. Perfect! And they all really enjoy them too.

I did this with peaches last year and they were also a hit. The measurements are slightly different though. You can find that recipe here.

~Be Blessed!~

  10. I love the idea! Not only for kids lunches but for year round fresh eating. What is the purpose of the pectin?
