Food Hints To Homemaker Concord Plump Strawberries
Fresh strawberries are perishable and season short. Buy only what you can use in one or two days and look for uniform bright red berries. Plan five servings per quart and two quarts for three pints frozen or six cups preserves. Varieties Sparkle and Robinson favored for freezing. Store unwashed in the refrigerator to prolong goodness.
