I love this blog post here - four simple ways to freeze strawberries

I wonder if there's an error in the post, on how to freeze strawberries with simple syrup...

Her post says to make a simple syrup using 4 cups of water to 1 cup of sugar. That sounds like too much water. I found a similar post, that uses only 1 1/4 cups water. I'm going to use that measurement instead!


How to Freeze Strawberries in Simple Syrup

Make a simple syrup by combining 4 cups (reduce to 1 1/4 cups instead)water to each 1 cup sugar. Dissolve the sugar in either cold or hot water; if hot water is used, be sure to chill the syrup before using.

Place whole or sliced berries in containers and cover with cold syrup; use about 1/2 to 1/3 cup of syrup for each pint container. Package and freeze.

To Thaw: Thaw in the refrigerator or on the counter. Never immerse frozen jars into hot water.
