Saving
berries from Molding |
|
The key to preventing moldy
berries...
Berries are
delicious, but they're also kind of delicate. Raspberries in particular seem
like they can mold before you even get them home from the market. There's
nothing more tragic than paying $4 for a pint of local raspberries, only to look
in the fridge the next day and find that fuzzy mold growing on their
insides.
Well, with
fresh berries just starting to hit farmers markets, we can tell you that how to
keep them fresh! Here’s a tip I’m sharing on how to prevent them from getting
there in the first place:
Wash them with
vinegar.
When you get
your berries home, prepare a mixture of one
part vinegar (white or apple cider probably work best) and ten parts
water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse
if you want (though the mixture is so diluted you can't taste the vinegar,) and
pop in the fridge. The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that might be on the surface of
the fruit, and voila! Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go
almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft. So go forth and stock up on
those pricey little gems, knowing they'll stay fresh as long as it takes you to
eat them.
You're so berry
velcome!
