Place the strawberries in a strainer under running water and clean.
Put the strainer in a large bowl and add water and two drops of Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds (or 1 part distilled white vinegar to four parts water). Mix them around so that all the strawberries are submerged in the solution. Let the berries sit for two minutes, then rinse them thoroughly.
Cut off the green tops of the strawberries and slice them into pieces if desired.
Place the berries (whole or sliced) on a parchment sheet lined pan or plate and place in the freezer for at least two hours.
Transfer the berries into an airtight container. If you are using a reusable ziplock bag, squeeze out as much of the air as possible. The berries will last about four to six months in the freezer.
