How to keep produce fresher, longer

Nothing beats the taste of fresh, local produce. To keep the flavors of summer around as long as possible, try these tricks.

Refrigerated apples will last up to six weeks, but be sure to check for apples that have any decay. One bad apple will indeed spoil the entire lot.
