I am planning a party and want to serve cut asian pears and apples
fresh.
I need to cut the fruit in the morning to serve in the afternoon.
Say, cut around 10 serve from 3-7. How best to keep the fruit fresh?
I heard one country remedy which seems to work pretty well with
apples, but not with pears: to immerse in Sprite.
I tried some citric acid in a water bath, both quick dip and soak.
The quick dip seemed the better of the two.
However, while this is off topic, I KNOW folks on the list will have
some suggestions, and I would appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks.
