Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Strawberry time was a busy time for Grandma. She made jam, canned preserves and froze berries for use in breads and cakes. To freeze the berries, she cut them into slices and sweetened each cup of berries with 1/4 cup of sugar. She let them stand for an hour until the juices were released, then spooned them, juice and all, into freezer containers.
