Keeping Berries Fresh
Fresh berries
I love fresh berries.
This time of year, all the fresh berries come from Chile which put them a few days in transport and store shelf.
The issue with berries is that within a few days they will break down and get moldy.
This is annoying because when I want some fruit, I go to the fridge and find it moldy plus there is the expense of throwing away fruit.
So, my daughter shows us a little trick to get more days out of our fragile fruit.
The fruit is first washed in a sink of water with a ½ cup of vinegar and allowed to soak for about 15 minutes.
It is then rinsed and allowed to dry a bit, then it is ready for storage.
This is where the amazing part comes in
The soft fruit is put in mason jars and then into the refrigerator. The fruit will last up to 2 weeks this way.
This has been a new regimen in our house and we now have fresh fruit all week long.
We use this on strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries.
It is awesome.
Thanks to my daughter, Katie!
Until next time,

Berries are my favorite fruit. I eat the best fresh, use the second best for preserves, and make syrup from the bruised fruits. My oldest son loves strawberry syrup on his pancakes. !BBH
That sounds awesome. You never waste any that way, lol

This is super helpful. I love berries and I hate that they mold so quickly if I don't hurry to eat them. We have a fair amount of Mason jars laying around the house. And berry season is coming.

This is a great tip to prolong the life of fresh berries. I know you are normally lucky to get a week out of berries after you buy them and to get 2 weeks out of them is amazing.
Thanks, Mike. It works great.
i have not tasted berries so i don't know if i am going to like it or not, hope to have a taste someday though

Great tip, John. I guess the slightly acidic water wards off the mold. Thanks for sharing.
