In this episode, the first of a monthly series, Joanne runs through some ideas to reduce food waste and save money by storing foods well and using them up effectively.
This episode is about berries so there some ideas about how to store berries to make them last longer, and stop them going off. This includes how to store them in the fridge, how to freeze them and how to dry them. There is also a suggestion for what to do if your berries have started to go mouldy, and how to rescue what you can.
And then there are lots of ideas on how to use up berries that have started to go soft, or berries from the fridge.
The episode includes our monthly Q&A with Kate Hall from The Full Freezer on how to freeze berries and different ways to use them.
