Hi there!
I have a quick tip that I just love to share. Whenever I slice apples, pears, bananas, or avocados, I keep them from browning by dunking them in some water with honey in it. Just stir a big dollop of honey into a small glass of water, soak the pieces in there for about a minute, and enjoy lovely delicious-looking fruit for hours, even days! (I'm starting to sound like a bad infomercial.  )
Salt water or lemon juice used to be my go-to solution, but I'm pretty sure the honey works even better. For example, I sliced a bunch of apples for a road trip snack. Some were leftover, so I stashed them in the fridge. Now, this is pretty embarrassing but I forgot about them for a couple weeks, and they somehow escaped my weekly fridge sweep. When I found them, they were horrible and squishy... but still white.
Does anyone else use this method? Has anyone tried it on raw potatoes? I'm too chicken to attempt that. |

Thanks for the tip Tiny. I knew about lemon, but honey I had not heard of. I had brown apple slices just the other day.So I will try this.

I'm going to try your tip out. I usually use the lemon juice but I would much rather use honey and water! Thanks for the tip!
