Apple Time

I'm actually a day late in reporting our applesauce making night.  Got home from work yesterday and Bike man had started working on all the apples we picked from our tree.  The apples that I feature in my photo are the really nice ones, but 2/3 of the apples had black spots, and worm damage.  The bad spots on the apples made for a slow going slicing process. 
 
By late night the cooking process began and I think we finally filled all the canning jars by 8:30 pm.  I was glad we could process our apples, but after working all day and getting up by 6 am, I was beat.  Went to bed after the canning jars were in the canner, and Bike man handled the rest.  It's been a long work week.

    I like how much you and Bike Man make your own food.

    Our apples have a lot of black spots too, but still taste delicious. Good for you and BM for getting that applesauce done.

    Apples are so plentiful here this fall. We don't have trees, but neighbors have a small orchard with apples for the taking. For some reason, hers are almost blemish free. Great variety, too. I harvest next week, now that the Dam Challenge weekend is over.
