Equipment

Materials
  

  • ¼ cup 5% Distilled White Vinegar
  • 10 cups Water

Instructions
 

  • Place the berries in the water/vinegar solution.
  • Set a timer and soak the berries for 2 minutes.
  • Rinse.
  • Place berries on a large towel to dry (a few hours).
  • Set a paper towel at the bottom of a jar and place DRY strawberries in the jar.
  • Put the lid on the jar and store in the fridge.
  • Next day, check for condensation in the jar.
    If there is condensation in the jar, remove the lid and wipe the inside of the jar with a towel/paper towel to remove the condensation. Place the lid back on the jar and put back in the fridge. You may need to repeat this process every few days as there is still moisture in the berries even though you let them dry on the counter.
