Cleaning steps:
1. After taking time to select the fruit in best condition at the supermarket, take them home and asap rinse fruit under running water
2. In a large enough bowl, put cool, clean water; add a third more that volume in vinegar (I use cane vinegar); & baking SODA (1 tsp per 2 cups water.
3. Soak for 12 minutes ONLY to avoid damage
4. Rinse again briefly under rubbing water
5. Gently lay them spread out on a kitchen towel to dry. flipping them once one side dries.
6. Place a sheet or two of paper towel at the bottom of the air tight container (ideally airtight talk glass jar) to catch condensation. The gently place fruit in bottle (firmer ones on the bottom, if possible)
Troubleshooting: If you see beads of water inside the bottle, either the fruit weren't fully dry. Fix by opening bottle inside the fridge for a while.
