A small apple problem

(1/2) > >>

Palustris:

There are two wheelbarrows full outside as well and the drawers are also full as are the freezers with puree and juice. Better than not enough though  ;D

ideasguy:
Its apparent youve had an appsolutely fantastic crop, Eric.
Those bees sure were busy!

How do you store them? How long do they keep for?

NightHawk:
How long did it take you to think those up George?

I have to approve of those very appropriate terms you applied here.  ;D

Eric, you're just going to have to hold a fruit sale in your garden and sell them off to your neighbours and other visitors.

Laurie.

Palustris:
I wouldn't give our neighbours the time of day and passers-by are very few and far between and usually going too fast.
The apples will keep reasonably until after Christmas and as I drink the juice we will crush more of them.
The birds love them, especially the blackbirds and fieldfares, so any going off ones are cut up and left for the feathereds.
Very few go to waste.

ideasguy:
Interesting! Particularly since I have a massive crop this year - eaters and cookers.
Ive never managed to keep them too well - I probably can manage the Bramleys Christmas, but I hear of some folk who claim they can keep them until spring.
Eaters seem to go soft within a few weeks.

How do you make that juice? That sounds like a good way to use a box or two up  :)
Can you use Bramleys for juice?
