Answers:
you cannot dip frozen strawberries in chocolate!. I realize that you would thaw them but they will have a different texture after freezing and be damp on the oputside and the chocolate needs a dry surface to stick to!. For dipping you should purchase them shortly before dipping them to make sure they hold up!. if you dip them too far in advance they will "weep" and make a mess!. FYI, if they are a bit white on the shoulders, don not buy them then either!. Strawberries do not ripen more after picked, What you got is what you got!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
The firm ones will last till Wednesday!. However, I would suggest freezing the semi-firm ones, although I'm not entirely sure what the composition will be once they defrost!. Definitely refrigerate all of the strawberries, though, and if possible, place them all on a plate sitting slightly apart from one another!. That way, if one of them goes bad before the others, it won't be laying up against the others and make them slimy!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes freeze them!. Remove stems, chop and stir sugar or splenda into them!. Put infreezer containers!. Sometimes I buy them just to freeze for later!.!. Use them in recipes or for strawberry shortcake, or just eat them!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
