Jack:

Wolf River is not a real good keeper. I do put some in the root cellar and
they are still fine now.  However, they won't be much good in another month
or so.   They make a decent -though not great- pie.  I believe that their
niche was as a baking apple.  Core it, fill the hollow with sugar, cinnamon,
cloves, ginger and nutmeg.  Bake and enjoy.  They also dry quite well.  I
slice them rather thin and put them on screens above the wood stove.  In a
few days they are ready to put in jars.  The drying process concentrates the
flavors and they are really quite tasty.

Season's Greetings!
