How to preserve fresh berries

Keep your berries fresh for longer by following one easy trick.

To preserve your berries, you will need:

Water
DYC White Vinegar

1. Mix a solution of 1 part DYC white vinegar with 3 parts water (ie 1/4 cup of vinegar added to 3/4 cup of water).
2. Submerge the fruit in the solution for at least 30 seconds.
3. Rinse in fresh water.
4. Dry thoroughly – we recommend using a salad spinner lined with paper towels (for strawberries and blueberries). It is essential that the berries are very dry before you put them away.
5. Once dry, pack them in a container, lined with a paper towel and store in the fridge.

Use your berries to top a pavlova or serve them in a tiramisu for a fresh twist.
