Storage
Refrigerate for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
Freeze for 2-3 months in a freezer-safe container.
Cooking Time
- If you wash the strawberries right before soaking them in champagne, dry them well so you don't water down the champagne.
- Make sure the strawberries are fully submerged in the champagne so they soak up as much flavor as possible. They'll float, but do the best you can.
- Pat the berries dry after draining the champagne, or the sugar will be wet instead of the look we're going for.
- Make sure the strawberries you're using are really fresh and firm. They can get a little softer when soaking, and you want to make sure they weren't soft to begin with.
- Don't soak the strawberries for more than about 12-14 hours, or they'll get too soft.
- Make sure you refrigerate your strawberries while they're soaking. This is for food safety, and also to help the strawberries stay fresh and firm.
