The Water-Over-Guacamole Thing Really Works

The age old question... "how do you keep guacamole fresh?" has now been answered thanks to the Kitch'n. Forget what I told you about using the pit to keep it fresh (if you didn't gobble it all up to begin with). Because let's be honest - that doesn't work. Add more lime? Forget it. You just made it more acidic and brown.

Charlie and Kelsey came over for dinner last night which was super fun. We drank wine, chatted, Charlie made guacamole, and I made pasta. But we didn't eat all of the guacamole. So I tried this new approach.

Put a layer of water over it when you store it in the fridge. Sounds...sketchy, right? Take of your skeptical glasses, because ladies and gentlemen...this is how you keep guacamole from turning brown.

This is Charlie's guacamole from last night. I put some water over it and wrapped it in plastic wrap.

Then I poured off the water today...

And presto! It's still super fresh and not a tinge of brown. Guacamole saved.
