Subject: [NAFEX] about storage

 

How do folks go about storing their fruit?  We had our first harvest this year and much went into the freezer or got processed into sauce or jam. 

We don't have a garage and I'd worry that rats and other critters would decimate anything stored in the barn. 

What (inexpensive) storage methods have folks come up with for ripening apples and storing other fruits properly?

We get winter temps that are quite variable with lows below freezing frequently for weeks at a time...so not sure that storing outdoors would work.
