Fascinating facts and figures :-) I think I shall stick for now to
trying to preserve my apples and blackberries in interesting ways.
I've got way too many for freezing!

If you can get hold of a fruit press, freeze a bag of apples (whole)
overnight, thaw them - so they are now mushy - and put them through the
fruit press. Apple juice is more compact than apples, and you can drink
a great quantity.
