Berry-Berry Fresh

It's always disappointing after you purchase berries only to find them beginning to turn and covered in mold just a few days later. Here's an easy hack to solve this dilemma!
A little vinegar solution can keep that fuzzy mold off your delicate summertime berries and extend their shelf life.

Supplies:
  • white vinegar
  • water
  • salad spinner
  • paper towels

Preparation:
  • wash berries in bowl with 3 cups water mixed with 1 cup white vinegar
  • drain in a colander and rinse under running water
  • place berries in salad spinner lined with paper towels
  • spin until berries are completely dry
  • store berries in paper towel-lined sealable container, keeping lid slightly open to allow excess moisture to escape

Why This Works:
The vinegar and water solution destroys bacteria and mold spores, helping the berries last longer.

Benefits:
  • raspberries last a week or more and strawberries almost two weeks
