We have just bidden adieu to the winter months, and with that the season of strawberries has also gotten over. The delicious, aromatic and nutritious fruit makes its way into our fridge during winters and stays in our hearts forever. As we have already welcomed the spring season, strawberry vendors are trying their best to clear out their stock. We are now eager to relish the season’s residue produce until next year. However, in this process, we end up buying impulsively resulting in those sad, mushy strawberries sitting at the bottom of the packets trying to make their way to our plates. However, they eventually find their place only in the trash can. So, to save them from this, we bring you five ways to use overripe strawberries.
1. Make A Bottle Of Jam

5. Popsicles
Although a little early now, we cannot say no to popsicles. The icy pops are enough to take you down memory lane and remind you of your childhood days of licking popsicles while playing with friends. Use up those overripe strawberries and make some icy popsicles to relish.
