Homemade applesauce......

A big fat, "Thank you" to my friend Leah, who let us pick some apples off her parent's tree so I could make some yummy homemade applesauce. They are on a mission to the Philippines, and she had already picked what she wanted. I got 8 Walmart bags FULL of apples. I made applesause and canned them for 8 hours total this weekend! It was fun, actually and the kids really enjoyed using this gadget here to peel and core them.




Then, they wanted to bob for apples, and I told them it was too cold to do it outside. So, they did it inside. Sasha actually went first and got her shirt very wet, so she put her swimming suit on. Seth and Addie thought that was a great idea, so they put theirs on, too. No, I did not put mine on. They are so funny and make a game of everything!












I canned like 30 pints and 10 or so quarts. My hands got so stained by the apples it looked like I hadn't washed them in a really long time. This is what we did this weekend! I love free produce!
