Selections 10 Drawer Traditional Wooden Apple Storage Rack

Product Information

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). 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: 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.

Wire mesh and door latch - keep out any wildlife that want to eat away at fruit and vegetables, entirely vermin proof 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 bagsStoring some pears loose in the salad compartment of the fridge can help to delay ripening until after those in store have been used.

For me, I’ve got Cox Orange Pippin, which is full-flavored like Ashmead’s Kernel (but without the tannin). It’s a good balance, somewhere in-between a sweet Honeycrisp and a slightly bitter Ashmead’s. There are 2 shelves of those (40 lbs).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. 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! Known as Newton Pippin apples, they’re some of the very best storage apples and can keep for 12-14 months in the right conditions. In fact, they taste pretty darn horrible until they’ve been stored at least 3 months, and then they’re absolutely fabulous. 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.

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. 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.

Definitely intentionally planted and tended by the previous owners, these trees were chosen for a reason.
