Instructions
- First, gather the equipment, strawberries, and other ingredients.
- Next, measure out 2 cups of cold water and 4 tsps of the Ball Fruit Fresh Produce Protector. Mix the powder and water into a large glass mixing bowl, then add in the strawberries.
- Let the strawberries soak for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the strawberries to a spider strainer and rinse under cold water.
- After rinsing, move the strawberries to another glass bowl lined with paper towels. Dry off the strawberries as best you can with another paper towel or 2, then let the berries sit to finish drying completely.
- Once the strawberries are dry, cover the top of the glass bowl with Press N’ Seal food wrap and store in the fridge until you’re ready to use them. Strawberries prepared this way will stay fresh for 5 days.
