Can you use frozen strawberries that dont’ have sugar added? Like the whole berry ones?
Hi Elaine,
I think that would work just fine. I haven’t tested this one with frozen berries, but from other similar recipes I know you can substitute fresh with frozen berries. They’ll just be a little soggier on the front end when you’re crushing them, but that shouldn’t affect the flavor since they’ll be boiled and frozen. Let us know how it turns out!
Thanks,
