    Thanks! I love fresh raspberries, but I'm afraid to buy them, because I've bitten into more than one moldy berry. Traumatizing!

    Thanks so much! I live on my own and avoid buying fresh berries because I never get to eat them in time! This is great :)

    I actually wash all my veggies in vinegar. I have been wondering why my berries have been lasting longer, and you have provided the answer. Thanks!

    Bump! Thx for the tip. It's always a race against the clock to finish my strawberries and blueberries before they go soft and/or mold.

    wash them and freeze them individually in a freezer bag.

    This TOTALLY works! I saw this on pinerest and put our grapes and strawberries in the sink in the said vinegar solution. I then topped the strawberries and then put them back in the container with a bit of paper towl in the bottom to absorb any excess moisture. They lasted a week and not one went rotten! Yay!
