Four more quarts. . .

I picked four quarts of berries today.
This was picking only the first three beds (out of 11).
I had not picked them in three days.

I am trying something new.  I have had problems with berries molding in the refrigerator.

Now I am following a suggestion I read.  Put 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar in 2/3 cup of water and

briefly soak the berries.  I get quite a system going with two rinses then into the vinegar bath then onto containers in a single layer to drain.  Then slice.  So far, it's working.  There is no vinegar flavor.  They are just as sweet as you expect Mara des Bois strawberries to be.  Yum.

Some of the berries are huge.

That was an unexpected surprise!
