Strawberries are a true summer joy, they are juicy, sweet, and irresistibly vibrant.

However, their fleeting freshness can be a real letdown, with these precious berries often spoiling far too soon.

But don’t worry, the following guide will help you keep them plump and delightful for up to 10 days.

 

Step 1: Prepare the Solution

You just mix 1 cup of white vinegar with 3 cups of water in a large bowl, then stir well.

The vinegar helps eliminate mold and bacteria that cause spoilage, but don’t worry, the diluted vinegar won’t affect the flavor.

 

Step 2: Soak the Strawberries

Now, simply place your strawberries into the vinegar and water mixture, ensuring they’re fully submerged, and let them soak for 5 to 10 minutes.

You might see dirt or tiny bugs float to the top – this means it’s working!

 

Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly

In this step, use a colander and cool water to wash away all the vinegar, ensuring your berries don’t have a tangy taste.

 

Step 4: Dry the Strawberries

Moisture can lead to mold, so spread the strawberries in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to dry evenly.

For a quick fix, gently pat them dry or use a salad spinner for excess water.

 

Step 5: Store Properly

Use airtight containers, like glass mason jars, then place a paper towel at the bottom of the jar to absorb excess moisture.

Next, gently pack the strawberries without overcrowding and seal the jar tightly.

Now you can store them in the fridge, and check periodically for any spoiling fruit.
