LynnMarie’s tip for storing fresh berries:

Place your berry fruit in one large container with an airtight lid.  Cut up strawberries and add to the mixture. (they must be cut up).  They have natural vitamin C which is a preservative, and will allow your fruit to stay in an airtight container for over a week. (just long enough for you to enjoy your daily Decadent Day Starter!)
