Has anyone used dehydrated strawberries in anything?
I freeze a lot of strawberries and these go in smoothies or turn into strawberry sauce for pancakes/semolina/rice pudding. These are our main uses of strawberries, and frozen works well for these.
I’d love to take up less freezer space though. I currently don’t have enough space for freezing enough strawberries when they’re cheap to last the year - we have a lot of strawberry sauce.
I tried bottling them but bottled strawberries are not that great. (Of course, jam is good, but you only need a certain amount of jam. I also have some combined with other fruit for pie filling which worked well.)
I dehydrated a heap, and they’d be good added to a granola or something, but I had hopes of being able to turn them into strawberry sauce but just tried it and it wasn’t very successful.
So -
If you dehydrate strawberries what do you use them for?
What is your favourite way to preserve strawberries?
