Keeping Berries Fresh for a Week or More!
by BusyBeeEmily
This tip works for all produce, not just Strawberries or other berries. Try it with lettuce and other greens, mushrooms, squash, herbs you name it- it works! All without any vinegar!
All you need are glass jars with tight sealing lids, and your produce. That's it!! I promise! This is EASY!
Now, don't wash the produce first. Just put it in the jar, stems and all. Washing it destroys the natural antibodies that help to keep your produce fresh!
And this is what you can do with those lovely strawberries when you want to eat them a week after you bring them home! Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle. The recipe is on my Cooking Blog "Come2mykitchen.com" or with a link in the web address below!

You're preventing molds and bacteria from other foodstuffs in the fridge, and from the environment whenever you open the door, from reaching your produce. It isn't a hermetic vacuum, but it's isolation. Good idea. We may have to try this.

Have a question about this project?
Can you cut the head of lettuce in halves or quarters before putting it in the jar? It's really hard to find small heads.
