I have been lucky this year and have had unlimited access to quality apples this year.
Macintosh, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious. Red Delicious. Mmmmm
On one apple picking excursion, I picked over 40 gallons of apples in a couple of hours. Even Lauren helped by clearing away the leaves in the trees so I could see the apples better. When I climbed the ladder with her, I would pick the apples, and she would pick the leaves and stuff them in her mouth hoping I wouldn't notice.
Barry surprised me one evening by coming home from work and saying that he had been thinking about me and realized that there aren't many women in my generation who are willing to do all the work of canning for their family to enjoy. So he had got me a little present.
A double burner Camp Chef stove!
He also bought me an extra canning pot and filled up our propane tank. Whoho! Now I can can outside, use both pots, and have my whole stove top free!
Happy Day! I got all my applesauce done in one day, with Barry doing most of the work. :)
I have been amazed with how many apples my children can gobble down. Especially James. Lauren loves to eat them too. She does pretty well and leaves little bite marks all over the apples, proving her teeth do exist, thought they are ALL currently still MIA.
