Guest guest Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 That is an interesting idea. I often wipe cheese with a paper towel damp with vinegar before wrapping to store and it has helped my cheese last without mold.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I always thought that getting berries, especially strawberries and raspberries, wet caused them to go bad faster. I would be really interested in hearing the results if anybody tries this. RenaIf God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I have not tried this yet, but plan to next time I get some fresh berries. I buy fresh berries since it is one fruit that is not so bad for my diabetes-wise but would like for them to last a bit longer. I did learn a trick for washing them. Rinse gently in water. Place in a salad spinner lined with paper towels... it helps to protect the berries. Spin a bit to dry. Then store. I use the produce savers from Rubbermaid. I'm not sure but I think this tip came from the folks at Cook's Illustrated.
