Removing Wax from Veggies & Fruits

Teresa Moye Asks:
How do I get the wax off of store bought cucumbers? My daughter's batch that we made came out soggy and she had to through them away. Sad time

Answer:
Teresa there are many commercial products you can buy, but there is no need to do so.  All you need to do is let them sit for a few minutes in water and vinegar. The vinegar will soften the wax if you let them sit a few minutes. Rub with your hands or a cloth. For stubborn wax use a soft brush and scrub gently. You can also use a little baking soda as a scrub. Rinse well under running water.
