I'm overrun with apples and pears today - 4 huge carrier bagsful -the reward for a day's apple picking on a local wildlife reserve yesterday, to add to the 3 bags full I got last week.  They are currently in the garage (a bit too warm), kitchen (too warm), and laundry room (in the way of washing machine).  As a lot of them have some bruising, they won't last too long, but I'm trying to find a place to store the best and hang on to them for a few weeks if possible.  May try the greenhouse, but as it's unheated and leaky, it'll probably be too warm/cold/wet for good storage conditions.  I've spent the whole day cooking Fiona's Belgian Pears and making apple and lavender jelly (disaster - needs a reboil tomorrow), and have nowhere to put the jars of goodies - my 'pantry' is already overflowing with recent boil-ups for Christmas prezzies.  And I'm rapidly running out of jars.  Any tips on how to store 'good' apples and pears?

Thanks, Devongarden - you're a whizz.  I'm currently sorting out those that need using up first and am going to make up a batch of pectin jelly to store in measured litres in the freezer.  I'll then wrap and store the best, as you describe, and then hopefully I won't have too many left to worry about.
