Once treated, the apples will keep for 5 to 6 months when

Preserving
Blanch fruit and vegetables before freezing them. Blanching
helps maintain the quality of the produce when it is frozen.
Blanching vegetables also helps them retain their original
colour.
^ Put the prepared vegetables (cleaned, washed, chopped
etc.) into a perforated cooking container.
^ Once blanched, plunge the vegetables into ice cold water
to cool them down quickly. Drain them well.
