Strawberry freezer jelly?!


Question:

Strawberry freezer jelly?

I want to make homemade strawberry freezer jelly this coming weekend. I already have the recipe however I have no idea how many lbs of strawberries I am going to need to make several batches. Each batch makes five 1 cup containers and each batch requires 2 cups of crushed strawberries. I want to make 5 batches (25 containers) so I know I need 10 cups of crushed strawberries. How many lbs of whole strawberries will I need?


Answers:
It all depends on the size of the berries, (count per lb). Volume will reduce 50% from whole to crushed, take a quart container into the market, get a plastic shopping bag and start measuring, fill the container and dump it into the bag till you get the amount you need, at the same time you can pick-out the berries that don't meet your requirments.
