German food guides detail strawberry preservation method and no‑bake raspberry cheesecake recipe

A German lifestyle guide explains a simple “glass‑trick” to keep strawberries fresh for up to three weeks. The method involves washing the berries in cold water with vinegar or baking soda, drying them thoroughly, layering kitchen paper in a clean screw‑top jar, packing the berries, sealing the jar and storing it in the refrigerator while periodically checking for condensation.

Another German guide provides a no‑bake raspberry cheesecake recipe suitable for summer gatherings. The dessert uses a butter‑cookie crust, a cream‑cheese and whipped‑cream filling flavored with raspberry purée, lemon juice, and gelatin to set. After chilling for at least four hours, the cheesecake can be sliced and served with fresh raspberries and mint leaves, yielding about 24 portions.
