My family loves strawberries and most of the time we can't keep them in the house long enough, but Target recently had them on sale for 94 cents a pound and I couldn't resist buying 2 pounds. One thing I hate about buying berries though is how quickly they spoil if they aren't eaten immediately, so I decided to try the vinegar and water bath my mom always talks about. I filled the kitchen sink with 8 cups of warm water and 2 cups of white vinegar. I swished the strawberries around for a few minutes with my hands, then let them soak for about 20-30 minutes. I drained the vinegar and water bathwater, rinsed them clean with warm water and placed them back in the containers I bought them in, but first lined the containers with paper towels. We are a few days in so far and they are still tasting and looking quite nice when we get them from the refrigerator! Yay for longer-lasting berries!
