KEEPING CELERY FRESH

You always pick up some celery from the grocery store. When you get it home and go to use it, it is kind of rubbery and limp. The next time you buy celery, try this to help preserve it better:

When you get home, trim off the ends of the celery and the base.

Now trim the celery so that it will fit into a tightly sealed container.

Pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the container and place your celery in the water.

Cover tightly and refrigerate.

Now your celery will be nice and crispy for about a week.
