Vegetable Wash

Have you seen the price on vegetable washes lately? It’s horrible! My good friend, Gina, asked me how I wash my vegetables and I thought I’d show you:

$ready for a washin\'$

I run my sink with an inch or two of water (more if I am washing a lot of stuff) and then pour in four cups of vinegar and a handful of salt. I then swish it with my hand until the salt dissolves.

Now I gently massage each vegetable or fruit in the salt/vinegar water. I then rinse.

The best time to wash your vegetables is before you put them away. If you wait until you are pulling them out while preparing a meal — you will be frustrated and possibly forget to do it altogether.

I just love contests! They are such a blast! I thought that I would share the current competition with everyone. We’ll vote on Friday May 30 (a week from today) and the winner will be announced on Saturday. I’m asking — no, I’m begging — for you guys to tell me what prize would be best. It will be homemade for sure but what would you like? More napkins? Salsa? Pepper jelly? P-p-p-please tell me!
