How To Store Fruit

Ruth explains how to get the best from your fruit crop and prevent it from rotting when it is placed in storage

- Ruth

OUR fairly young fruit trees haven’t produced a glut of produce this year, but they have provided enough to warrant storing.

The same can be said for our assortment of soft fruits, that were used in breakfasts and puddings as they ripened, and then frozen for winter desserts.

Our onions and broad beans also did well – the onions have been dried and hung in the shed, and the beans podded and bagged before being frozen.
