I love it when it gets warmer, it means berries are everywhere. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries blackberries I eat them all. I especially like buying organic berries from Costco, because they come in big boxes. However, we can’t finish all those berries in one or two days. Before we know it, the berries will turn bad, moldy and yucky. And I hate throwing away food.
Here is a great tip for making berries last longer in the refrigerator. This tip works for all kinds of berries.
Ingredients:
- Apple Cider Vinegar (but any kind of vinegar will work)
- Filtered Water
Directions:
- Soak your berries in water and vinegar bath. I don’t really measure how much vinegar I’m pouring but some people use 10:1 ratio (water:vinegar)
- Leave it for about 5 minutes.
- Drain and dry.
- I do not rinse the vinegar off (some people do). The vinegar doesn’t bother me, besides the vinegar helps prevent mold from growing.
Now your berries are ready for refrigeration and will be free from mold a little longer than usual.
