4108.0. "APPLES: Keep from turning brown?" by CSC32::L_WHITMORE () Wed Aug 21 1996 15:15

    I looked around but didn't find the answer to this question:  How
    do you keep apple slices from turning brown?  I want to make an
    apple dip and cut the apple slices ahead of time but don't know how
    to keep them from turning brown!  Thanks for your help.  Lila

4108.3	Cortlands stay white	MPGS::MILLS		`Tue Aug 27 1996 11:28`	3
	re .0 Cortland apples are reputed to stay white better than many varieties and are, therefore, recommended for apple salads.
4108.4	Instead of lemon juice....	GRANPA::SREEVES		`Thu Sep 12 1996 13:17`	8
	Apples, along with bananas, pears, etc. will not turn brown if the slices are dipped into a lemon-lime soft drink (Sprite, 7-Up). These drinks contain enough ascorbic acid to prevent the oxidation but won't add the lemon flavor (or tartness) that some object to when using lemon juice! Sharon
