You should have just about finished harvesting apples and pears from your trees, but storing them carefully is all-important if you want to enjoy them in the weeks to come. Any windfalls which have suffered bruising can be cooked and stored in the freezer.
Perfect specimens can be stored in the vegetable basket in the bottom of your fridge and should keep for about a month. Others should be dried and placed inside wooden crates or large plastic bags with airholes in and kept in a cool, frost-free outbuilding or shed where they won't get damp.
