If apple compotes, jams and jams have already filled the shelves of the cellar, it is time to dry apples for the winter.

In order to prepare dried fruits, experienced housewives advise choosing spoiled fruits , on which there are wormholes and other defects, because in the process of cooking, such defects are cut out and removed.

So, the apples should be washed, remove the core and all damaged areas, and then cut into pieces, the thickness of which is about 1 see.

Now about the main thing: so that insects do not get into them during the storage of dried apples, the apples must be processed in a special way.

For this, they must be placed in a salt solution – for its preparation you should dissolve 100 g of salt in 10 liters of water.

In addition to the fact that such actions will protect stocks from damage by worms and bugs, after drying the apples will not lose their light color.

Store dry fruits should be stored in ordinary glass jars covered with lids.

If you forgot to put pieces of fruit in water with salt, another simple trick will help to avoid the appearance of pests – just put a cotton pad soaked in alcohol on top of the apples placed in the jar.
