WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FRESH STRAWBERRIES

* Select fully ripened, red berries with fresh-looking green caps.

*Use berries within 24 hours; or remove from container, spread in single layer in shallow pan, and refrigerate. They'll stay fresh for several days.

*To preserve flavor and texture, do not rinse until just before using. Hull after rinsing.

*Place berries in colander or strainer; rinse gently with cold water.

*Drain well on paper towels before using.

*A pint container of strawberries usually yields 3-1/4 c. whole berries or 2-1/4 c. sliced.
