Tips For Baking with Strawberries

Baking with strawberries can be a delightful experience by adding freshness and a burst of flavor to your baked goods. Here are some tips to help you make the most out of using strawberries in your baking:

Choosing Strawberries: Select ripe, firm strawberries that are bright red and free of bruises. The berries should have a sweet fragrance, indicating their ripeness.

Avoiding Excess Moisture: Strawberries release moisture when baked, which can affect the texture of your baked goods. To prevent sogginess, you can: Dust sliced strawberries with a little flour or cornstarch before adding them to batter. This helps absorb excess liquid.

How to Store Strawberry Desserts: If you have leftovers, store baked goods containing strawberries in the refrigerator due to their perishable nature. Enjoy within a few days for the best taste and texture.
