We spent a few days making applesauce.

| Gala apples ready to cook |
 |
| Using my grandma's Foley Food Mill - this mill has seen many, many, many bushels of apples in it's years!! |
 |
| Stirring in the spices |
 |
| My tiny taste-tester |

| Bottling up the yumminess!! |
After putting up 125 lbs of apples I have no more jars for anything else this year!! I will be looking for more jars in thrift stores so that I can do even more next Fall (home canned food goes fast around here!!). So the next preserving project is pies - for my hubby. The girls and I, on some rainy Saturday (not difficult to find around here :0)!!!) will spend the day making and freezing as many pies as possible. So nice on a chilly winter evening to pull a pie out of the freezer and pop into the oven!! I love this time of year - putting up the harvest in preparation for winter!!!
Blessings,
Christine

I wish I had room in my freezers to put pies. That sounds so yummy!!
This year we were given a bunch of canning jars. What a blessing it is to have them on hand. I use them for tons of different things too~
I love your teeny tiny taste tester :-)

I bet your house smells yummy~
I so love love the smell and taste of apples.
Did you get your goodies I mailed last week?
I pray that the package made it there safely~
We love to have canning jars on hand too. I just bought a case they were only about $7.00.
Peace and Love,

Yum! We love apple sauce here at our house. Freezing pies is a great idea...wish I had more room in my freezer for pies. I did can some pie filling this year, we'll see how easy it makes the process later. :) Enjoy your bounty...home canning is the BEST! :) Very cute taste tester, by the way. Quality control at it's best. :)
125 lbs is a lot. That must have kept you busy. We'll be doing this on Monday. A friend is coming over and we'll use my kitchen. Only we will be doing apple pie filling.
