How long will the Strawberry Salsa last?
One of the best experiences that I can recommend is strawberry picking on a farm. Fresh berries warmed in the sun fragrance the air with a scent that is just so memorable and amazing. Plus, the taste of fresh picked strawberries are delectable. It is a great family activity.
Once, you get those strawberries home, you can make the strawberry salsa and it will stay good in your refrigerator for up to 7 days. But you can freeze it in an air tight container for use anytime. Believe me you will use it often!
