Tips and Tricks: Fruits

Wrap half a lemon in cheesecloth before squeezing.  For a small quantity, 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) vinegar can be substituted for 1 tsp. (5 mL) lemon juice.  If your lemon is dried up, boil for five minutes and a lot more juice will come out.  Heating for 15 seconds on HI in the microwave will have the same effect.

To wash strawberries, mix 1 cup (250 mL) vinegar and 2 cups (500 mL) of water and toss in the strawberries.  Drain and place on a paper towel lined baking sheet to dry.


Left-over tomato paste can be frozen successfully in an ice cube tray dedicated to the paste.  Or, place 1 tbsp. (15 mL) spoonful on a piece of waxed paper and freeze.  Store in freezer bag until needed.

Did you know that one cup (250 mL) of canned tomatoes equals 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) of chopped fresh tomatoes that been simmered for ten minutes?
