I've never stored Golden
Delicious apples long term before even though the old tree has been here for
years. We've tended to either eat them quite quickly or stew and freeze
them. Golden Delicious apples stewed with a little sugar and cinnamon are
heavenly!
This year I stored a box of them wrapped in
newspaper and I've discovered they are not especially good keepers.
They're already shrivelling up somewhat and going quite soft so I'm going to
stew and freeze these ones too.
What is very noticeable though is the gorgeous
golden colour they have turned. Straight off the tree and kept short term
they are a rather pale, insipid green-more-than-gold colour which did always
make me wonder why they called them Golden Delicious. Now I know
why! Keep them long enough and they really are
gloriously gold and delicious!
