Im very lazy when it comes to picking my apples, I tend to get around to it sometime in december just before the birds start pecking at them.
This year I only realised I should get them in after several days of extremely cold weather, the night prior was -10 @ 93% humidity. So these apples were solid blocks of ice.
The first one went to mush while thawing, and I was sorely dissapointed at having wasted an entire crop of homegrown apples. But I had the idea of picking the rest and putting them in the cold part of my fridge. So they could thaw SLOWLY.
And it actually worked!
So two lessons learnt.
