Absolutely! In fact, unless you're definitely getting fresh, ripe, in-season strawberries, I'd recommend reaching for frozen instead. They're picked and frozen at peak ripeness, so if you're craving a strawberry shortcake in November for example, ditch the fresh strawberries for frozen. Bonus - frozen berries require a little less sugar (and less time) to macerate. In fact, feel free to make this yummy dessert with any frozen berries, cherries, pineapple or mango you might have in the freezer. If you happen to have dried fruit on hand, you can also opt to macerate it using liquid instead.
