What You Need
All you need to cut strawberries into hearts are some fresh berries, a sharp knife and a little bit of patience! The first step is to wash your strawberries. You can do this by holding them under running water or by submerging them in a bowl of clean water. Be sure to dry them off completely so that the knife doesn’t slip.

6. Enjoy your strawberries! These heart-shaped berries are perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or any other special occasion.
