No. 3699 — Keeping Apples Fresh
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3699 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Summer apple varieties are best laid out on clean dry shelves lined with straw in a dry cellar, with no two apples touching.
Wipe them frequently with a dry towel. Apples intended for storage should be picked directly from the tree, not shaken down.
