Vinegar Rinse to Prevent Mold in Berries, June 17, 2019
 

Mrs. Dashwood loves fresh fruit such as berries and cherries. However, she noticed that they quickly were overtaken by mold. Thinking that there was nothing to do, except eat the fruit quickly, she ran a search online, and found that the mold is easily defeated by a vinegar and water soak. Most sources advise about 1/3 vinegar to 2/3 water, though a lot of other proportions can work too. Apple cider vinegar is preferred.





Simply rinse off the berries in a bowl. Add the vinegar and water solution. Then, using a colander over another bowl, drain the berries, and then when they have dried a bit, put them in a container or bag into the fridge.
