a good place to store apples and pears and how?

Answer 1

dry and in the dark, wrap each one in paper...last all winter.

Or, you could, as I've just done, store then in a fermemting bin with a bit of yeast and water....emmm

Answer 2

Is 34 just your band size or all around your bust? For example if you wear a 34 but are a B cup your bust measurement would not be 34 but 36. A cup is 1 inch difference, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4, and so on. Go by that and not your band size. If however you are 34 all around then you are on the small, slightly curvy side of an hourglass. An hourglass is when the waist is 9" smaller, (or more, yours is 10 from your hips so that's why I said slightly curvy because it just makes it) than the bust and hips. The bust and hips also have to be within 1" or less of each other in order to be called an hourglass. If the hips are 2" bigger than the bust then this turns into the pear shape. On the other hand, if the bust is 2" bigger than the hips then this turns into the inverted triangle shape (opposite of pear shape). A rectangle shape would be the waist within 6-9" of the hips and bust, with the hips and bust being similar in size. For example: 34-28-35 would be a rectangle shape. If your bust isn't 34 but that's just your band size and you wear a size 34D, this would put your bust at 38. You would now be an inverted triangle shape. Your bust is a size 4/6, your waist is a size 4 and your hips are a size 2. For all one size... a size 4 would fit you good, this is a Small. You're also a bit thin for your height. You probably have a small to medium frame, judging by the fact that your hips are only 35", you should weigh around 135-145 for a healthy weight for your size. How you figure this out is at 5' you should weigh 100 (assuming you have a medium frame), then you add 5 lbs for every inch taller than this. 5'10" with an average frame you should weigh about 150, but if you have a tiny frame then this is too much and you take off 5-15 lbs, resulting in you weighing between 135-145.

Answer 3

Even though you have already received what I consider the best answer, I want to add my 2 cents. The 2 people said who told you to wrap them in paper and store in a cool place are absolutely correct. My grandparents owed an apple orchard , (also limited number of pears, peaches & plums). Grandma would be making fresh apple cakes, pies and cobblers well into spring with the method of wrapping each apple individually in a square of newspaper, storing in several shallow boxes, in a cool dry place. (basement). A few pointers I would like to add. Only store your best apples/pears. Can, freeze or sauce any that you may have to cut worm holes out of, making sure to discard any portion of with ANY spoilage. Come January, check apples & pears for any that may have gone bad and discard....remember one bad apple spoils the whole bunch. Pears will not last as long, so can, or give to the food bank, nursing homes, school etc. as many as possible.

Answer 4

Traditionally fruit such as apples and pears are stored in a cool dry place, a garden shed or cellar. The most effective method I know of for storing fruit and veg is to buy a few bags of Irish Peat Moss. Peat is inert, nothing grows in it, it also stops things rotting. Using a plastic dustbin, put a layer of peat in the bottom followed by a layer of apples or pears, separated so they do not touch. Cover with another layer of peat and repeat etc. You can do this with new spuds, carrots as well as apples and pears. They will keep exactly as they are until you start pulling them from the peat.

Answer 5

Dry cool and dark make sure fruit stored singly not touching each other check monthly oh yeh and only store really healthy apples or pears

Answer 6

The best way I've found is stewed in the freezer! I think they can last for a long time though if you pick very carefully- don't store bruised apples and place in cool dark place.
Good luck

Answer 7

store some where cool possibly refrigerator ? or if you have a lot try cellar or somewhere out of sunlight be careful handling pears & apples .... they bruise easy and go bad quicker if bruised keep seperated in baskets allow to get air

Answer 8

Put them in a box and place somewhere dry and dark, an attic is perfect - or garden shed. If you can't be bothered to wrap each in newspaper (as suggested above) then put newspaper between each layer. This means if there is one that rots it doesn't spread the rot to all the layers.

Check them every week or two and check none are rotting - in the unlikely event one is then remove it.

Answer 9

A cool, dry place. Be sure it is somewhere that they won't freeze in the winter. If you know of a local orchard, stop and ask how they store fruit.

Answer 10

a cool attic or a spare room with the heating off or a garage if it is mouse proof. try not to let them touch each other. i keep as many in the fridge as i can that seems to be the best place.
a lot of peeling , quartering, microwaving and freezing goes on as well.
