Why do you refrigerate apples and oranges? how long do you store them that this would be necessary?

 

Months!  

 

I still have the last of my apples from the fall in my fridge that will get used up next week.  I do a lot of bake sales for fundraising and one of the things I make uses Cortland apples (and no other apple tastes as good in this recipe).  a) my cortlands cost $12 a bushel (versus in the store they cost about a dollar a pound,  a bushel is approximately 46 pounds so $46 a bushel) and b) the grocery store carries cortlands for about a month each fall and that is it.  So I store those cortlands as long as possible so I can make my stuff for my monthly fundraisers.

 

 

oranges, I buy from a group that brings them up fresh from florida but each time they come they have a different kind.  I only like certain ones so I buy 3-4 boxes and store them until they are gone.

 

 

So yeah I might store things longer than most people but it's only because what I'm storing isn't readily available anytime I might want it.

I like apples cold, but moreover a lot of houses are built without a pantry, and very little storage for things like apples, etc. Unless I want them all over my counter (giving me an excuse to avoid clearing/cleaning said counter) they go in the fridge. I do live in Florida though...so room temp here is warmer than room temp most places. 

I live in the north so even though I'm sure my house is a lot colder, it would never cross my mind to leave them out.  I don't like warm fruit either so if it was out on the counter, I probably wouldn't eat it.
