How to keep strawberries fresh with vinegar
Keep your newly- bought strawberries fresher for much longer with this easy trick!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 2 cups water cold
Instructions
- First, gather the equipment, strawberries, and other ingredients.
- Next, use a measuring cup to measure out ¼ cup of white vinegar and then 2 cups of cold water. Mix the vinegar and water into a large glass mixing bowl, then add in the strawberries.
- Let the strawberries soak in their vinegar bath for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the strawberries to a spider strainer and rinse under cold water.
- After rinsing, move the strawberries to a baking sheet 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, line a glass storage bowl with another paper towel and place the strawberries inside. Cover the top of the bowl with Press N’ Seal food wrap and store in the fridge until you’re ready to use them. These prepared strawberries will stay fresh for 7 days.

Notes
- If you have a salad spinner in your home kitchen then you can use it to speed up the drying process without damaging the strawberries.
- If you run into some strawberries that have a little bit of rot on them, you don’t have to toss them out! Just cut off the bad spot and freeze the good part for later use.
