Re: [NAFEX] Speaking bluntly...Arkansas BlackHey Rick,
    For several years we've bought from a half bushel to 2 bushels of 
Ark. Blacks to eat in the winter.  They're quite good by December, and 
are one of the easiest apples to store at home.  We wrap them in 
newspaper and store them in an unheated garage.  Not the finest apple I've 
ever tasted but they are quite passable and good in cooking.

My reply:

Hmmm...do the store crisp or turn to mush?   An unheated garage?   Wow...when 
do they ripen where you are at?   I am north of you and I know that my 
unheated garage gets  warmer than 50 for most of Sept, Oct and part of Nov so 
I am surprised they keep that well.  

So by cooking are you saucing them, frying them, baking them, using them in 
pie or what.  

Very curious,

the fluffy bunny
