An Apple A Day

We bought a ginormous box of apples from the same lady that sold us the peaches and went to work last week. All of her fruit comes from Utah so you know it's good! We made applesauce, applesauce for babies, apple pie filling and apple butter (a special request from Grandma). It was a lot of work but it sure is tasty!
We made four quarts of regular applesauce, about 40 ounces of frozen baby food, two pints of canned baby/George applesauce, four pints of apple butter, and 3 quarts and 1 pint of apple pie filling. We borrowed a water bath canner when we did the peaches and we just haven't given it back yet... It's so fun!

ah... You missed the canning parties in Cedar. That last year, 7 of us did over 240 qts in a day... good times... canning is fun, but funner with a friend (or7).
