Strawberry Tips
Please carefully review our tips for preparing strawberries, so your guests will not be disappointed!
Strawberries require a little extra care, but are definitely worth the effort. Strawberries are the NUMBER ONE item for dipping in chocolate fountains. Guests love them.
Follow the tips below to ensure that your dipping strawberries will be both appealing and edible at your event.
- Please purchase the strawberries no sooner than 2-3 days before your event. Store in the refrigerator. Do not wash.
- On the morning of the event lightly spray the berries with cold water. Drain on paper towels and pat each berry dry. Leave the stems on. Repackage in original containers with napkins in the bottom to catch any residual moisture.
- Keep the strawberries cold during transport by keeping them in a cooler with ice packs. Plan on either refrigerating or storing the strawberries in coolers at the venue until they are ready to be served.
- One quart = 20-25 berries; 1 pound of berries is 1½ quarts. Plan on at least 1 berry, maybe 2-3 per guests. They love ‘em chocolate covered!
This may sound troublesome but it sure beats having strawberries that have soft spots, are partially rotten or even furry with mold! I can’t serve bad strawberries so it is a loss to both of us—your pocket book and my display—if they have gone bad. Don’t be afraid to include strawberries—they are a little extra trouble but well worth it!
Assign a good friend or relative to be in charge of this chore for you. A final note: If you think strawberries are too expensive to serve, please try to include some. They are really a crowd pleaser! Just buy what you can afford. When they are gone, guests can eat from the other dippers.
