Vinegar Bath:
Mix 1 part white vinegar with 3 parts cold water. Soak the strawberries for 5 minutes to kill mold spores.
Rinse and Dry Thoroughly:
Rinse under cold water and dry completely using paper towels or a salad spinner. Moisture is the enemy!
Remove Bad Berries:
Discard any mushy or moldy berries immediately—they can spread spoilage.
Don’t Hull Until Ready to Eat:
Keep the green tops on. Removing them too early speeds up spoilage.
Line the Container:
Place a paper towel in the bottom of your storage container to absorb moisture.
Store in Layers:
If stacking berries, separate each layer with another paper towel.
Use a Glass Jar (Bonus Tip):
For best results, place dry berries in a clean, sealed glass jar. They can last up to 2 weeks this way!
