How to make berries last longer:
prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white
or apple cider probably work best) and ten parts water.
Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl
around. Drain, rinse if you want (though the mixture is so diluted you can't
taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge.
The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that might be on
the surface of the fruit, and voila!
Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go almost two
weeks.
