Apples
Remove any apples that are overripe or have soft spots. They give off ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening of the other apples. Store small amounts in a plastic bag in the refrigerator and they will keep for up to one month.
Blueberries
Store blueberries, loosely covered, in the refrigerator. Use as soon as possible within 2 weeks of picking or purchasing. For optimum flavour, bring refrigerated blueberries to room temperature before serving. Blueberries cook extremely well, and are featured in many time-honoured recipes.
Cherries
Sweet & sour cherries should be refrigerated as soon as possible, although sweet cherries are more durable. Chilling cherries not only preserves them, it also seems to improve their flavour.
Cranberries
Cranberries can be stored for several weeks in the fridge in the original plastic bag. Before using, rinse and remove remaining stems or leaves. When using frozen cranberries, do not thaw before using for cooking or baking.
Mangoes
If they're not ripe, leave mangoes uncovered at room temperature. Just make sure to keep them out of the of the sun. Once they're ripe, store in the fridge in a perforated plastic bag. They'll keep for about 2 days.
Raspberries
Raspberries are highly perishable and must be refrigerated if not eaten immediately. Raspberries can be frozen whole in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Strawberries
The best way to store freshly bought strawberries is to store them in the fridge with the stems still attached. If you want to freeze strawberries for later, simply wash and dry, then lay them on a baking sheet and place in the freezer. Once frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer bag, letting you remove however many strawberries you need instead of a frozen clump.
