Equipment

  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 teaspoon
  • 1 Measuring Cup

Materials

  • Strawberries (I used 2 boxes)
  • 4 Cups Water
  • ¼ Cup White Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda

Instructions

  • Grab a large bowl and place your strawberries in it. You'll want to cover them with room temperature water.
  • Add 1/4 cup of white vinegar and a teaspoon of baking soda. Stir everything and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure you don't keep them soaking for more than 10 minutes, this will result in soggy strawberries.
  • After soaking, rinse your strawberries under cool running water. Make sure all the vinegar and baking soda is rinsed off.
    Cover a tray with paper towels, laying down two or three layers to soak up the water. Spread your strawberries out on the tray.
  • Take another paper towel and gently pat each strawberry dry.
    Let the strawberries air dry on the paper towel-covered tray for a little while. I usually wait about 15 to 30 minutes. You want no visible water or dampness before you start dipping them in chocolate.
