Prepping ingredients in advance is a great way to save time, but keeping certain fruits fresh can be a challenge. Take apples and pears, for example—once cut, they tend to brown quickly when exposed to air. If you’re making a packed lunch, prepping for an apple pie, or just want ready-to-eat fruit on hand, here are some simple tips to keep them looking fresh and delicious!
1. Lemon Water: A quick soak in lemon juice and water.
2. Saltwater: Dip slices in mild saltwater for 1-2 minutes, then rinse.
3. Honey Water: A bit of honey mixed with water adds natural antioxidants.
4. Citric Acid: Dissolve a pinch of citric acid in water for a flavor-neutral option.
