Raspberries are my favorite

But, unless you're like me, and you buy them and gobble them in a few days, they always get moldy! My dad sent me some awesome information that totally works!  There's nothing more tragic than paying $4 for raspberries, only to look in the fridge the next day and find that fuzzy mold growing on their insides.  You're all going to cringe when I tell you how to do it. My husband was like "eeewwww, they are going to taste awful!!"  But, you can't even tell!

Wash them with vinegar. 

I know, I know, I know, sounds nasty, but let me tell you it really works!  When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar, but white would probably work too) and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse if you want (though the mixture is so diluted you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge  The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that might be on the surface of the fruit, and voila! Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft.  So go forth and stock up on those pricey little gems, knowing they'll stay fresh as long as it takes you to eat them.

You're so berry welcome!
