Berries • How to Keep Them Longer
When June is finally here, I can’t wait to get my fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries for the next couple of months. I love them! They’re so tasty and every bite is a burst of flavor! Unfortunately, they don’t keep very long… How many times have I bought some and a couple of days later, I had to throw a few out.
A few years ago while I was at my supermarket in the produce section trying to pick the best berry package, I met a woman and we started talking. I told her how hard it was to keep them fresh and surprisingly, she told me what to do.
In this Berries • How to Keep Them Longer episode, I’m going to share what I learned from her that day. Instead of having them get spoiled in the refrigerator a few days after buying them or having to throw the berries in the freezer to salvage them, there’s a couple of easy steps to do which remarkably work amazingly well!
I’ve been using this incredibly easy tip since then and I’ve never had to throw out any berries again. The process is simple; I soak them in a vinegar-water bath which helps to kill any mold that can spoil them. From there, I rinse them, dry them and store them… done! Berries • How to Keep Them Longer really works!
With this Berries • How to Keep Them Longer trick, your berries will stay fresher longer. I can now keep them as long as 8 days – perhaps this method can keep them longer but unfortunately, the berries never last that long in our house as we eat them everyday unless I make some of my lovely recipes like Pavlova, Strawberry Salad, Bumbleberry Pie, Strawberry Jam, Blueberry Cake, Strawberry Butter, Fruit Salad, Black & Blue Jam, Mixed Berry Margarita, Strawberry Ice Cream, Blackberry Mojito, Raspberry Jam, Berry Fusion Smoothie, etc…
Bon Appétit!
