After washing, dry the berries on a towel thoroughly. This extra step helps prevent mould from growing on the surface of the berries which extends their shelf life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip: <\/strong>Avoid leaving your berries in the vinegar mixture for too long, as it can absorb the vinegar flavour.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nectar_video_wrap\"><a class=\"nectar_video_lightbox magnific-popup\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FxkeXWaYQs8\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7886\" src=\"https:\/\/igav3-metcdn-com.global.ssl.fastly.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/15095522\/IGA_BerryHack_uncropped-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"845\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igav3-metcdn-com.global.ssl.fastly.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/15095522\/IGA_BerryHack_uncropped-1.png 845w, https:\/\/igav3-metcdn-com.global.ssl.fastly.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/15095522\/IGA_BerryHack_uncropped-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/igav3-metcdn-com.global.ssl.fastly.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/15095522\/IGA_BerryHack_uncropped-1-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To prolong the life of your berries, always store them in the refrigerator, and never wash them until they are being eaten or used.<\/p>\n<p>For a deeper clean,<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26887,"featured_media":7633,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[178,287],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iga.com.au\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7622"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iga.com.au\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iga.com.au\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iga.com.au\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26887"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iga.com.au\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.iga.com.au\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iga.com.au\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iga.com.au\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iga.com.au\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iga.com.au\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
