I saw this tip on making your strawberries last longer on the FoodNetwork show "The Kitchen". I tried it and the bunch of strawberries and blueberries lasted for almost two WEEKS in the fridge after using this soak on them! It is really easy, all you need are strawberries, vinegar and water!
The natural vinegar kills the mold spores so your fruit will last longer WITHOUT changing the taste of your fruit!
*Note* this will work on any type of berries.
These are strawberries that I have had in the glass container, covered, for over a week. I bought a bunch because they are at their peak in season right now and I am sooooo glad that I found this trick to keep them fresh for daily eating!!
Perfect for topping steel cut oatmeal, some almond milk, sprinkled with granola and topped with berries and a little Stevia for some sweetness!
Now that's a breakfast of champions!
- Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries
- 5 cups water
- 1/2 cup vinegar
Instructions
Place berries in a colander over another bowl. Pour vinegar over the berries and then the water. Or dump the berries in a big bowl with the vinegar and water and swirl around for a couple of minutes - then scoop out into a colander and rinse. Reuse the water for other berries or a double batch of strawberries.
Let sit for 2 minutes while gently stirring around with your hands.
Drain and rinse under cold water. Place berries on a sheet pan covered with paper towels and let dry.
Store in a glass container with a lid.
