Keep Quinces Easy: That's something you should keep in mind

After most of the fruits have been harvested, the quinces are the last to follow. These fruits are hardly storable. Learn in this article how the preparation of fresh quince can still be delayed until the advent season.

preparation

After the quinces have been carefully transported to the storeroom, further details are to be considered. First, these fruits should never rest together with other varieties. They always give off intense aromas. These are very easy to transfer to other fruits. Furthermore, a precise control of the fruit on bruises is necessary. Only quinces in top condition are suitable for storage.

Choose a place that will surely remain frost-free. The ideal temperature for successful storage is 0 to 2 degrees Celsius. Under these circumstances, the specimens can be stored unscathed for about 2 to 3 months. Note that modern insulated basements are not suitable for storage. The temperatures exceed in any case the necessary conditions.

Note:

As soon as the pulp assumes a brown tint, it is time for the alarm clock. Get the fruits out of their winter hibernation and prepare for immediate processing:

Ripe and unripe fruits

Basically, quinces need not only a cool, but rather an airy and dark storage location. In addition, need a very dry environment. They should not touch each other during storage. In this way, pressure points can be avoided.

If you do not have a suitable place, the fridge compartment can be used as a short-term accommodation. For more than 14 days, ripe quinces should not wait for processing. Note that only unripe fruits can be stored for a longer period of time.

Tips & Tricks

Check the fruits at regular intervals. Once a week is recommended. If especially icy nights are imminent, additional Styrofoam plates protect against frost damage to the fruit.
