Does anyone know how to keep strawberries from going moldy. I have tried taking them out of their orginal container and leaving on the counter or putting them in the refrigerator and they go moldy after a day. I have left them in their container and they still go moldy. TIA

Some other sources of mold and mildew
Have you checked the attic for a roof leak? Sometimes a small leak, over several years, can cause water to seep into drywall and cause mold and mildew that is very hard to detect. Also, what about carpeting? One wet spot that goes unseen, or even a pad soaked through, can cause mold and mildew. It might be worth the time and money to have a home inspection done, with the specific purpose of finding the source of the problem. These guys can be very good at uncovering all kinds of things! I am with you - one should not need to be on meds in order to live some place, especially not a weekend getaway! Best of luck.
Mold and mildew problems sm
I have a problem affecting my health. Have a weekend getaway that I believe has a mold/mildew problem which cannot be seen with the naked eye. I can smell it, have "cleaned" as much as I can with Clorox. My DH denies there is any mold in the house, yet I cough and wheeze each time I spend time there. Just had an inhaler and antibiotic prescribed by our MD for a cough that has made me miserable for several days. Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle suspected mold problems? Men seem to pooh pooh this idea; yet I have a definite allergy to mold and mildew proven in skin testing years ago. Help! I'm miserable. I should be just grateful to have this place but what good is it if it's making me sick, literally.

i grow strawberries,
in the garden; what i do with them may not work for store-bought ones -- don't know. But when i bring them in, i rinse them and let dry in a collander. I hull them and if there are any too soft or bad spots, carve them out, then put them in a bowel, cover with seran wrap and leave in frig. I don't think i've ever had them go moldy. If you freeze them, they freeze better if they are sliced, but they freeze whole pretty well too.
Chocolate-covered strawberries.....Yum Yum!!!

Hey everyone, I have a huge amount of strawberries from my
want to make a different kind of dessert with them. Every year I always wind up making strawberry shortcake or strawberry ice cream and well those are great but I'm such a creature of habit that I really want to make something completely different. If you have any great ideas, PLEASE let me know!
Thanks!
Those plastic container strawberries at the store always go moldy on me, too.
They must sit in a warehouse or truck where the plastic packages get really hot because the outside berries look great but the inside ones are moldy or mushy. That's probably why they go on sale! LOL Open the plastic package in the store no matter how good they look and look at all the berries. Wash them when you get them home and stick them in the fridge in a paper towel lined bowl.
I buy the huge crates or half crates of berries in the little green plastic baskets. I cut most of them up, sprinkle with a small amount of sugar, let sit in the fridge overnight in plastic pint containers to "juice", then freeze.
I planted six dozen strawberry plants this spring, which your post reminded me that I need to go pick strawberries, zucchini, and green beans again. Time to go find some unlocked cars and leave vegetables on the front seats.
Teriyaki salmon, corn on the cob, salad and strawberries...yum!

George Clooney, chocolate dipped strawberries, and Dom Perignon champagne.
