Learning About Preserving Strawberry Freshness

I came across a blog post by Chris Glass titled Strawberries were on sale. Having not long ago published an article about once purchasing out-of-season cherries on sale. I had to open. While Mr. Glass’ post came as advertised, I found a tip. After purchasing his for-sale strawberries, he soaked them in one part white vinegar and three parts water for 10 minutes to “extend their freshness.” I have found that the appearance of strawberries deteriorates quickly, so I will have to study this method. Alas, the strawberries at Mr. Beet, where I purchased by cheap winter cherries (and just this week purchased more relatively cheap cherries) was $7 per box. So my experiment will have to wait.
