    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!

    Just today I refrained from stocking up on berries because I'm so fed up of them going mouldy before I get round to them! So thanks for the post, I'm back off to the market this evening to stock up again :)

    thanks a lot, it gets expensive and disheartening to have to toss them into le gabage.

    Awesome! so far the only way I had to keep them from molding was to eat them on the way home from the store!

    Got this in an e-mail from a friend of mine. It definitely works. Had fresh strawberries, did this and they lasted a lot longer.
