There were quite a few apple trees on the land, but two varieties really stood out. Definitely intentionally planted and tended by the previous owners, these trees were chosen for a reason. Just as the last of the winter storage apples are fading in the root cellar, this one gives you a shot of apple goodness right in the heat of summer (before the raspberries and other summer fruits). cool, with an even temperature of 2.8-7°C (37-45°F) for apples and even cooler for pears, if possible (pears can even be stored in the salad compartment of a fridge)

Now though, I’m writing this post 2 months later and we’ve eaten about half of the apples. We don’t buy grocery store fruit in the winter, so we’re limited to what we’ve stored or canned. Sure, I canned a lot of fresh blueberries and cherries to top our yogurt, but we still obviously crave the crisp crunch of fresh fruit. These kind of conditions are often provided by garages, sheds and even a cellar if you have one but the house (including lofts and attics) is often too warm. Store away from strong smelling substances (such as paint) along with vegetables like garlic and onions. Wire mesh and door latch - keep out any wildlife that want to eat away at fruit and vegetables, entirely vermin proof If you reside in the U.S. territories, please call Goldman Sachs at 877-255-5923 with questions about Apple Card.

If no suitable storage conditions are available, small quantities of apples can be put in plastic bags in the fridge to store for a few weeks. Fill a bag with 2-3kg (4lb 6oz - 6lb 10oz)of fruit, pierce several holes in it and fold the top loosely to allow air circulation.

To successfully store apples, you need to provide them with cool (typically 3-5°C) conditions which remain frost free and don’t exceed around 7°C. Fluctuations in temperature are decidedly unhelpful, your chosen location should also be dark with some air circulation and watch out for rats and mice!I’m so happy that this has been useful o people that I just had to share his work. Neil graciously sent me pictures of his to add to the article, and this nice note: Core flush (pink or brownish discolouration to flesh around the core) is usually the result ofcarbondioxidebuild-up and is common in apples stored in plastic bags Extra measures such as wrapping apples individually in newspaper or tissue paper can help them keep longer but will be a hindrance to regular inspection. My husband’s favorite storage apple is Ashmead’s Kernel, which has a sharp taste and a good bit of tannin. It’s often considered more of a storage apple, but he likes apples, not for the faint of heart. There are 2 shelves of those (40 lbs). For us though, Newton Pippins are prolific producers, we harvested literally hundreds of pounds from a single tree and had to find some way to store it for the winter. The first year, I simply used cardboard boxes, but this year I got inspired to try a more elegant solution…
