Strawberry Crush/Puree

Strawberry is known for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness. It is consumed in large quantities, either fresh or in such prepared foods as preserves, juice, pies, ice creams, milkshakes, and chocolates.
          

This is the first time I made Strawberry crush from scratch with no preservatives and no food color  and that crush I am going to use for cake, ice-cream, shakes, juice, Lemonade etc.

I believe you have to use Sodium Benzoate for the preservative if you want to store for a longer period. I made it 2 weeks ago and it is still keeping good despite not using the preservative.

How we can preserve Straw berries for longer period of time ?


In spite of keeping Strawberry in the fridge, they become mold or worse within a week.
But if you want strawberry fresh for more than a week then use this way ...

Take a bowl Add 2-3 cup of water (Depend how many strawberries do you have?)
Add 3-4 tbsp Apple vinegar and then mix.

Now wash Strawberry in this bowl and drained and put another container and keep it fresh for longer periods.

This method will definitely help you to  keep the strawberry fresh and tasty.
