Any recipes please for things you can make with strawberries and then freeze? Thanks

This is simple and easy... freezes well, too:

Strawberry Yogurt

3 cups chopped fresh strawberries
1 cup sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 (8 ounce) container strawberry or raspberry yogurt
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
pinch salt

Preparation:
Place strawberries in medium freezer proof bowl and sprinkle sugar over. Let stand for 15 minutes, then drain off juice and place juice in small saucepan.
Add unflavored gelatin to juice and let stand for 2 minutes. Then cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until gelatin is dissolved and mixture is smooth. Coarsely mash strawberries in bowl.

Pour juice mixture over strawberries in bowl and add yogurt, cream, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well, then cover and freeze for 2 hours.

Remove mixture from freezer and beat on medium speed until smooth. Cover bowl and return to freezer. Freeze yogurt for 6 hours. Remove from freezer 15-20 minutes before serving, then scoop into bowls.

We've also frozen this:

Strawberry Truffle

18 oz. pkg. yellow cake mix
1 cup water
1/3 cup oil
3 eggs
6 serving size chocolate pudding mix (NOT instant)
3 cups milk
4 cups sliced strawberries
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
Preparation:
Heat oven to 350 degrees (F). Grease a 15x10" jelly roll pan. In large bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil and eggs and beat until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed and pour batter into prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and cake begins to come away from sides of pan. Cool completely.
In heavy saucepan combine pudding mix and milk and stir with wire whisk until combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In small bowl, combine cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Cut cake into 1" pieces and place half in bottom of a large glass bowl. Pour half the cooled pudding over the cake pieces and place half of the strawberries on top. Repeat layers. Top with whipped cream. Chill for 2 hours before serving and store any leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator.

If you freeze it, wait until serving to top with the whipped cream...

ugh - frozen strawbs; they get squidgy. Mix into ice-cream if you must freeze.

Thanks for the replies - have made ice cream but was looking for other ideas. Clanad, thanks for going to so much trouble, but we don't tend to have the cake mixes you have in the US. Will try frozen yogurt - had some in Canada and it was good.

How about strawberry milk lollies.
Liquidise the berries with icing sugar add milk and blend till well mixed. Pour into lolly molds then freeze.
