Applesauce Making Marathon

{ 04:19 , 2007-Oct-20 } { 2 comments } { Link }
The weather has turned a bit like Fall.  Blustery, windy, and colorful leaves blowing around the yard.  Most of the leaves on the walnut tree dropped in a couple days and are awaiting being racked up. That means it must be a good time to get busy in the kitchen preserving the harvest and preparing for the winter ahead.



My older daughter came home from college this week-end just so we could do an applesauce making marathon.  We loaded up the stock pots and the Nutri-Steamer with chopped apples, steamed them until they were soft, ran them through the food mill, added a bit of sugar and cinnamon and into the canner they go! 

Sounds easy, but it is a bit of work!  We have 14 quarts and 8 pints for a half day's work. The smells are heavenly, the memories priceless and the work is worth it.  Here is Laura with my younger daughter Mary.

Those look awesome. I can't wait to harvest a bounty of "something" lol. Someday I know I will but until then I do what I can. Enjoy your yummy looking applesauce.
Blessings,
Kim
