How to store peeled potatoes?
I seem to be peeling potatoes a lot recently, and I was wondering if it was possible to peel a bag at a time, and store them for throughout the week. I have tried to put them in the fridge after peeling them, in a tight sealed food storage box, the next morning they was black! whole bag wasted. Any ideas? maybe freeze them?

Hi I have just made six 1L kilner jars of apple pie filling :) The recipe is American and it says to water bath it afterwards for 25 minutes in a canner. I don't have a pot tall enough to cover the 1L kilner jars. I have boiled the apples for much longer than the recipe called for, so can I get away with not water bathing…
