Strawberries are one of England’s favourite fruits (the only ones with seeds on the outside). Related to roses, they are one of the so-called ‘dirty dozen’ that are often sprayed in chemicals, so splurge on organic. If the underside of punnets are stained, that means lower berries are crushed. Smaller wild strawberries tend to have more flavour.

If freezing, cut and remove stems, then transfer to silicone freezer bag.
