How to Store Strawberries
About the cover:
The illustration featured on the cover of this publication is
the work of Nancy Biggs Thomas, a Rock Hill native, who
graduated from Winthrop College in the late 1960’s with
a major in art. Nancy also studied art informally in Japan,
attended the Penland School in pottery, and apprenticed
at the Seagrove Pottery. Later, she completed a master’s
degree in textiles at Winthrop. More recently, she began
studying Classical Realism at a small art school in
Asheville founded by noted fresco painter, Ben Long;
there, her interest in pastels began. Nancy enjoys still
life and landscape motifs using both oil and pastel, and
prefers working from life. Her studio, located at #4 Smith
Street in Greenville, is open by appointment by calling
(864) 232-4217.
Pick during cool morning to prolong shelf life. Pick fully ripe; berries will not
ripen after harvest. Refrigerate. Soft or damp berries should be used as soon
as possible. Don’t wash until just before use. Can be stored 2-6 days at 33-34
degrees (high humidity).
How to Store Peaches
To ripen firm peaches, store between 65-70 degrees (high humidity). Peaches will
ripen in 2-4 days depending on firmness. Ripe peaches can be stored for 3-4 days
in single layer in refrigerator at 40 degrees. If stored more than 3 days, place in
plastic bag to prevent dehydration.
