What ratio water/vinegar do you use? I've been thinking about doing that too. We go thru a lot of fruit! When strawberries were in season here I bet my husband & I ate at least 4 flats! They were so sweet this year I never needed any sugar. Now watermelons are in & they are pretty tasty too. Don't forget to wash the outsides before you slice them because they can carry nasty germs too. The knife will carry them right into the meat.
I filled the sink with enough water to cover the fruit, then added about 1 cup of vinegar. Soaked for 20-30 minutes. What I am liking is in the past, I would already have them going bad if I had not done anything with them. I buy way too much for 1 person (so far none have gone bad) after cleaning in this mixture. It has been 4 days since I bought them.
I even did this with my cilantro and it is doing well also.
