Earlier this week I purchased two small baskets of beautifully
ripe strawberries. However, within 48 hours, the strawberries
had gone bad (as you can see from the photo!) and some were
covered in mold. It made me wonder: what's the best way to store
strawberries?  Well, first things first, don't wash the berries
until you're ready to eat them. Excess moisture could cause them
to spoil quicker. Start by removing the berries from the store-
bought package. Discard any that are starting to look bad.  If
you've got a large fridge with plenty of space, store them in a
single layer on a paper towel lined cookie sheet or plate making
sure that none of the berries touch. Don't have a lot of room in
the fridge? Place them in a glass container with a lid. If
you're lucky, they will stay fresh for up to a week!  What's
your tried-and-tested technique for storing fresh strawberries?
