So I have been trying your method for a while now and I just gotta say it is awesome! I do have a tip though. I recently got Swedish dishcloth paper towels and I decided to use them for this method and lay my grapes on them to dry. Drying time took a little less then 2 hours! I'm pretty sure if I checked on them more often and flipped then over to dry wet sides it would have gone way faster. BONE DRY! I also put one in my jar with the grapes. Now my jar has no condensation I am so happy lol 😆 these dishcloths are so awesome and eco friendly I am happy it worked well with the cross legacy method.

[@TheCrossLegacy]

Oh nice! I just received some swedish dishcloths I will need to try it.

[@deblanfair8510]

Where did you buy your Sweedish dish clothes?

[@TheCrossLegacy]

@@deblanfair8510 it was a gift

[@hamzaraza5933]

For how many days you stored in fridge

[@SuperGODschosen]

You did everything I do except storing in airtight container. I use a container with good ventilation they last about 2 weeks or more. Great video 👍🏽

[@vasilisa6128]

Great tips! Thank you!

[@TheCrossLegacy]

💡Question of the day: what type of grapes are you favorite? 🍇 🎥 Check out my Strawberries in a Jar video to keep Strawberries fresh for three weeks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKq5fJigfMiaatU

[@trademarktm2222]

Doing this now. ❤Thank you.

[@TheCrossLegacy]

You are welcome, happy to help!

[@daleneese974]

I appreciate this video. I love grapes and my kids do and my parrots as well. How long on weeks does yours last? I know it can differ with each that you buy.

[@TheCrossLegacy]

4-6 weeks

[@tonyalts1]

Awesome

[@saradabbs]

How long did you soak them for? Was it 2 or 10 minutes?

[@TheCrossLegacy]

2mins

[@annadennis7115]

There are holes in the bag that grapes come in - is it ok for them to be in an air-tight container, or does the lid need holes?

[@TheCrossLegacy]

Yes it is ok for them to be in an air tight container after they are washed and dried

[@mehjabeenjable3632]

An also does grapes keep longer in open container or sealed container

[@TheCrossLegacy]

Grapes need to be washed, completely dried, and stored in an airtight glass container still in bunches/on the stem.

[@mehjabeenjable3632]

Yes generally bananas ( whole) is kept on counter i know but mine dont so I guess u meant i should cup my banana and place on counter? therefore i tried fridge but still dont work an as for freezing some things is jus better not frozen, yes i never froze banana but i did freeze grapes and i did freeze onion raw and fry onion i freeze and i did freeze tamato and i did freeze strawberry but the taste of these alls , is definitely altered so grapes and tamato and strawberry an raw an fried onions alls these i no longer freeze an as for banana im guessing taste wil be changed too so now I'm planning to dice up banana and put in fridge or counter , wen u said counter u mean cut banana and put on counter?

[@mehjabeenjable3632]

Hi does grapes go bad faster when washed an then stored or the other way , some people do recommend that fruits should only b washed once u ready to use it so therefore im confused

[@TheCrossLegacy]

If you do them like I am teaching they will last over a month.

[@mehjabeenjable3632]

Hi ok thanks for letting me know, im now looking for bananas, i stopped buying banana as it gets bad tooooo quickly , i tried putting whole banana in fridge an whole outside the fridge both ways dont work so im just wondering if i could dice banana an store in fridge

[@DarrenHalfe]

bananas are best kept on the counter. putting them in the fridge will cause them to go brown faster. once mine start to go brown, i slice them up and freeze them to make banana bread later :)

[@travellervideos2024]

I'd say let use fruits to save another fruit -- instead of using vinegar we can just use good old lime juices to preserve grapes. They're acidic and antibacterial too 😇

[@TheCrossLegacy]

@travellervideos2024 vinegar is the by product from wine production so technically it is using grapes.

[@stitchesbyrajmeen]

Can I use apple cider vinegar

[@TheCrossLegacy]

Yes

[@stitchesbyrajmeen]

@@TheCrossLegacy Thanks

[@susiehill7475]

What if there’s condensation the next day ?

[@TheCrossLegacy]

Just remove the lid in the fridge for a couple of hours

[@motostrat]

I am hard of hearing. Did you say 15 or 50 minutes in vinegar?

[@TheCrossLegacy]

@@motostrat 2 mins!!! You should be able to turn on closed captions also that helps ❤️thecrosslegacy.com/grapes/

[@motostrat]

@@TheCrossLegacy Doh!! thanks! I went ahead and soaked them for 50 today. Won't have to wait so long next time. Thanks!

[@everyrose2]

❤️❤️🌹❤️

[@tonyalts1]

Can I store them in a plastic container with a lid?

[@TheCrossLegacy]

They last longer in glass but yes. By washing them you are killing off the mold spores so mold isn't growing on your fruit and making it go bad quicker

[@hgfdksk17]

So my grapes don’t look bad but they taste like wine lol

[@TheCrossLegacy]

Did you set a timer when soaking and only soak for 2 mins?

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

Oh good grief just eat the things, you'll survive!

[@RElizabeth]

Hahaha I love this comment 😂
