Someone mentioned Honeycrisp as a good storage apple that keeps its
crunch- maybe in CO2 storage but not out of my cellar!
This is disappointing, because it's one of the varieties I planted, just
for that reason (and because I like the taste, at least in grocery store
apples). I've since discovered that it supposedly tastes best when there
are cool nights when it ripens, so maybe this was a bad pick for two
reasons.
Which brings up another question: what's the best way to store apples
over the winter? I don't have a root cellar. My basement is unfinished,
and a bit cooler (and damper) than the rest of the house, but not
extraordinarily so. I was thinking of buying another refrigerator
(perhaps an older, used one), just for fruit. Would they dry out too
badly there? Any suggestions? I've got at least a year to worry about
it. :-)
