3 parts water

1 part white vinegar

Paper towels

A clean container with a lid

Meat broth with frozen vegetables

Birria Wings with Consome

★Instructions

1. Prepare the Vinegar Solution:

• In a large bowl, mix 1 part white vinegar with 3 parts water. This will create a solution that helps kill any bacteria or mold spores on the strawberries.

1. Soak the Strawberries:

• Place the strawberries in the vinegar solution and gently stir them around. Let them soak for about 5 minutes.

1. Rinse the Strawberries:

• After soaking, drain the strawberries and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove any vinegar taste.

1. Dry the Strawberries:

• Spread the strawberries out on a clean paper towel and pat them dry. It’s important to make sure they are completely dry before storing them to prevent mold growth.

1. Store the Strawberries:

• Line a clean container with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.
• Place the dried strawberries in the container, spreading them out so they’re not touching each other.
• Cover the container with a lid but leave a small gap to allow for air circulation, which helps keep them fresh.

1. Refrigerate:

• Store the container in the refrigerator. The vinegar wash helps to keep the strawberries fresh for up to a week or longer.
