Dukey's Kitchen Clue
"Dukey's detective secret: Dip apple slices in a bowl of cold water with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or pineapple juice for 30 seconds before spreading the SunButter. This prevents apple slices from browning, keeping them bright and snowy white all day long in the lunchbox!"
