Grapes
1. Keep unwashed grapes in their original packaging. Grape packaging is designed with the right balance of ventilation and cover to keep grapes fresh for as long as possible. Try to avoid washing your grapes before you store them since the water will make your grapes mold more quickly; just store them as they came.
2. Put the unwashed bag of grapes in a high humidity drawer in your fridge. Grapes preserve the best if they are kept at 32 °F (0 °C) with 90-95% humidity. They will preserve the best in a high humidity drawer. If you don’t have a high humidity drawer, you can store the grapes in the back of the fridge, where it is typically cooler.
3. Freeze grapes to use in smoothies, wine, or as a cold snack. Frozen grapes make great wine ice cubes in the summer and can keep flavor for a few weeks in the freezer. Rinse your grapes under cold water, pat them dry, and remove the grapes from their stems. Then, lay the grapes out on a baking tray lined with wax paper, to prevent the grapes from clumping.
Peach
1. Place your peaches on the counter for a few days to help them ripen. You can place them in sunlight, but keep an eye on them every day to make sure they aren’t getting too hot, which in turn can make them mushy. Leave your unripe peaches on the counter for 2-3 days, or until they have a slight give when you grasp them.
2. Place a banana or an apple near your peaches to ripen them faster. Whether they’re on the counter or in a brown paper bag, you can simply place a piece of fruit, like a banana or an apple or even an avocado, near the peaches to help speed up the ripening process. This process takes 1-2 days.
3. Store your peaches on their shoulders (the side where the stem is). Whether you are putting your peaches into a bag, a bowl, or on the counter, place them stem-side down to limit the amount of contact they have with a hard surface.
4. Place whole, uncut peaches in the fridge on their own or in a plastic bag. If you’re going to be eating your peaches whole or using them soon for a recipe, you can simply place them in the fridge and store them in there for 2-3 days. If you’re putting them into a bag, make sure to not stuff too many into 1 container, to reduce the risk of bruising.
5. Store sliced peaches in an airtight container for 1-2 days. Use either a glass or plastic container with a lid or a plastic zip bag. If you use a bag, make sure to squeeze all the excess air out before you seal it. You can also freeze the sliced peach and put it in an airtight container, this will allow the peach last for 6-12 months.
Plum
1. Store ripe plums in the refrigerator. This will keep them in top shape and prevent fast deterioration. Place them in an open plastic bag – not a sealed one. Plums stored in the refrigerator will last two to four weeks.
2. Eat plums soon after picking or purchasing. Plums can be stored for several weeks, but they definitely taste best when they’re fresh. The sooner you can eat them after they ripen, the better.
3. Frozen plums will keep for several months, and up to a year. Choose plums that are at their peak flavor and ripeness – underripe plums won’t taste good when you thaw them. Freeze the plum the same way as you freeze the peach, it will last up to a year.
