This has probably been covered before but I couldn't find anything on the
faq page.

We have just harvested apples, pears and plums from our allotment. Can
anybody recommend the best way of storing them. I have looked at various
sites and read differing opinions. Some say wrap apples and pears and put
in a cool place, some say put in plastic bags with holes punched (the

bag -
not the fruit), some say only store in a refrigerator (not that we have

room
anyway). Some sites say not to wrap pears. One site recommended wiping
fruit with a solution of household bleach!

I would appreciate any advice.

You could make 'dumpsie dearie jam'. Made from apples, pears and plums. I
can give you a recipe if you want it.
