How to extend fresh fruit with vinegar.

Monday, July 23, 2012



Cleaning fruit - fill sink with water, add 1 C. vinegar, mix. Add all fruit and soak for 10 minutes. Water will be dirty and fruit will sparkle with no wax or dirty film. Great for berries too - keeps them from molding. I do this with strawberries and they last for weeks!

Since I am into canning, freezing, and drying I thought this is good if you plan to eat the fruit sooner.

I have finally re-lost all the weight I gained during first part of July. Now to future!

    Great tip! Do you rinse and dry fruit (I know you wouldn't dry delicate fruit like berries, though) before storing?

    Thanks for the tip, I've been using a store bought citrus fruit based spray on my fruits and berries to wash/rinse but your version would be much cheaper. just wondering if the vinegar smell would cling to the fruits/berries. I'll give it a try and find out soon as today is my shopping day for fresh fruit. emoticon emoticon emoticon

    You can do it! You can lots of fruit for when it is hard to get the fresh stuff and you will thank yourself all winter long.
