Fresh strawberries are usually the best choice when texture and presentation really matter. For shortcake, salads, no bake desserts, cake toppings, and garnishes, look for berries that are well coloured, firm, and free from bruising, mould, or soft spots. Because strawberries are delicate, it’s best to wash them under running water just before using and dry them well before adding them to your recipe.
Frozen strawberries are a great option for cooked and baked recipes like jams, crisps, sauces, and some fillings, especially when fresh berries aren’t in season. Just keep in mind that frozen berries release more juice and soften as they thaw, so they work best in recipes where the fruit is cooked down or where a little extra thickener can help. For no bake recipes, short-bake desserts, or any recipe that specifically calls for fresh strawberries, fresh berries will usually give you the best texture and appearance.
