Selections 10 Drawer Traditional Wooden Apple Storage Rack

Product Information

Start by building the side rails (drawer glides). The original plan had 6 drawers and was much shorter, but I cut the uprights to 5 ft tall so I could have 10 drawers. Using 1×3 dimensional lumber, cut 5ft uprights and lay them out before attaching 11 pieces of 1×3 wood at 30 inches long. Top tips for making the most of your apple storage: When your apples are ripe, discard any that are bruised or damaged, dust off those you want to keep and wrap them in newspaper before placing them in your apple store. Be careful not to overfill the drawers and risk damaging your harvest.

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) 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). When one tray of fruit is reaching optimum ripeness, remove it from storage promptly as the gasses released may speed up the ripening of the remaining fruit in storeDrawer glide spacing is important, and you’ll need to have them level and evenly spaced so that the drawers will slide easily. Pears and quinces are prone to internal browning which can be found at harvest time or develop later in storage. The reasons for this are not fully understood but can be caused by environmental conditions during fruit development, poor storage conditions and internal rots

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. Each drawer holds about 40 large apples like the monster Honeycrisps that weigh 1/2 pound each. With 10 drawers, that’s 200 pounds of apples or 400 big ones (or considerably more smaller ones). About perfect to supply my family of 4 for a long Vermont winter. 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. 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.If you reside in the U.S. territories, please call Goldman Sachs at 877-255-5923 with questions about Apple Card.
