apples to applesauce


Apple picking has become an annual tradition in our family. 
Miss Bee was a most enthusiastic apple picker.
Cheeks needed a lift from her dad.
We finished off our bags with these delicious specimens.
Ready for peeling!
Put the peeled, quartered, apples in a pot with enough water to prevent sticking. Cook until soft. Sugar to taste.



Fill pre-heated mason jars and process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes.  Ball "Blue Book" is the canning bible.
Enjoy!  We put up four quart jars and had a lot leftover for the fridge.
