You may have to run hot water over them to get the popsicle to release. Usually the stick comes out by itself if you don't warm it up first! You can buy the popsicle makers at Dollar Tree for $1.

Vegetables should be blanched first. This weekend we picked up some blueberries and we will be using the same system to freeze them.

The idea of freezing them on a cookie sheet first is great... though I never seem to have enough room in the freezer to do that!! Can you freeze other berries the same way you do the strawberries?

I stick the cookie sheet into the freezer. Once they are frozen like this I stick them into a vacuum sealer bag, vacuum seal and stick in the freezer until I need them. I'll add the picture of the strawberries in the cookie sheet. I took the pic but didn't add it to the post. Becky,

Strawberries are really cheap right now with lots of "pick your own" farms in my area. I never thought to pick a bunch and freeze them! Any tips would be greatly appreciated! :) How do you package the strawberries so they last in the freezer for a whole year?

They were not very cheap, I want to think something like 5.99 each. I really can't recall. But I guess since they have lasted me so long I shouldn't complain. The ones without the straw I got a year or two ago at Walmart I think. They are usually by the area where they have plastic pitchers. You mat want to check Dollar Tree too. they may have them. Those were cheaper, I want to think around $2.<br/><br/>Of course the ones with the straw are prefect for little kids because then they can drink what melts away for less mess. Hi Gina,
