How to hull, burr or de-core strawberries…

I thought I had already shown how to do this in a previous post, but since I searched and couldn’t find it, I’ll show it now.

We had strawberries on the Fourth of July! Did you?

Whatever you call it, burring the strawberries, hulling them, stemming them or de-coring them, it’s not much fun…and sometimes it seems like you take 1/4th of the berry off with your paring knife. Add all that waste up and you can potentially lose half a dozen berries or more.

Here’s a quick and easy way to get the leafy stems off your strawberries. You’ll only need a regular sized straw…I’m guessing about 1/4th inch wide.

When you cut the stem off with a paring knife, it can look like this…and when you use a straw it looks like this… you can give it a try and see which way you like.

All you do is take your washed strawberries and stick the straw in the pointed end and push it up toward the leafy stem.

As the straw goes through the berry it will push the leafy part off, while keeping the core attached. Occasionally a piece of the green stem will still be attached. All you do is pull your straw back a bit and push it up again to get the rest.

Most of the time the core will stay attached to the leafy part, like this…

…but occasionally it will stay inside the straw and push out the bottom as you do more.

This is what you end up with….

…and this is how pretty they look. Almost a shame to smash them up, isn’t it?

Now you can do whatever you like with them…

Want to know my favorite go-to easy dessert? I like to slice them up, sprinkle a little sugar or sweetner on them, use a potato masher to squish them up, let them get juicy, crumble up some saltine crackers on top, add a squirt (or two) of aerosol whipped cream, and YUM!!!

We call it poor man’s strawberry shortcake and have been doing it for years.

I think I’ll have another bowl!!! YUMMY!

See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
