FAQ
Store the berries in a resealable container lined with a paper towel and place layers of paper towels between each layer of berries. Always keep the lid slightly open to allow moisture to escape.
Berries can mold in as little as one day if stored improperly. Only wash as many berries as you plan to use and only wash them before using them. Adding moisture to berries will make the mold far more quickly.
Cream cheese dip, yogurt, and whipped cream dip are all excellent with fruit.
