Re: strawberries
 

Reading about strawberries prompted me to ask. What is the best way to keep strawberries (purchased at a spanish market) fresh for 4 days before using them. Tried to keep them in the fridge as well as in a cool room, they dont seem to last for more than a couple of days before becoming "furry"!! Any advice/tips to help preserve them in prestine condition would be appreciated.:thumbsup:

I always get mine from the market, Sat they were 3€ for 2 kl box, I am afraid they dont last 4 days in our house, but I know what you mean.
They grow in the sunshine, so I think cooling them is a wrong move ?

Thanks a lot to your all for your replies, and for the URL with tasty recipes, sound oh so yummy!

Normally strawberries wouldnt last a day in our home either, but as it is a long bank holiday next week, and we have people over on Friday, I was going to make a strawberry cheese cake. I can only buy them on Tuesday, as the supermakets will be closed Thursday as well as Friday in our area, and Wednesday all the shops will be packed.

I think I will give it go, and keep them in a cool temperature (not the fridge) till I need them, will make sure I have an alternative fruit just in case they go off. I will check them daily;) and try one or two to make sure they are OK!
