  • White vinegar
  • Water
  • A Colander or salad spinner

Directions:

Step 1) Pour 1 part white vinegar and 5 parts water in a large bowl. About 1/2 cup of vinegar and 2 1/2 cups of water should do the trick.

Step 2) Soak your berries in the mixtures for a few minutes. The vinegar will get rid of mold spores and bacteria. That’s the stuff that makes your strawberries spoil quicker.

  • The Kitchn says you should keep the stems of your strawberries on until you’re about to eat them. This will prolong their shelf life.
  • Unless you’re planning on eating your strawberries right away, buy berries that are a little under-ripe. Once you pull them out of your fridge a day or two later, they should be perfectly ripe and ready to eat.
  • Also, if you notice any spoiled berries in your bunch that has mold on them, be sure to immediately remove them. This will prevent the mold from spreading and ruining the rest of them.
