Preserving Apples by Sulphur Fumes at Town State College
Home economics experts at Town State College recommend preserving apples by sulfur fumigation. Sound apples are placed in a basket inside a barrel with hooks, sulfur is burned under the barrel, and after eight to ten hours the fruit is packed in earthen jars for storage. The method retains moisture and flavor for pies and puddings and works for other fruits as well.
