Cleaning these fruits with a mild vinegar solution and carefully drying them as soon as you bring them home destroys bacteria and mold spores, ensuring their quality for longer. Learn more tips for longer-lasting fruit: https://cooks.io/3ziHz1N

1. Good info, thank you elleng!

Fresh produce is way too expensive to let dry out or get moldy!

2. Yep! Works great. And a friend taught me to freeze

berries in a single layer in a cake pan then put them in freezer bags. That way they don’t freeze into a solid block.

3. THANKS!

May get fresh, local strawberries tomorrow, and may use these new techniques.
