My poor little apple trees have been looking mighty tired, so yesterday I decided to fold the laundry and pick the apples. I needed something to put the apples in and the laundry baskets seemed just right. Now I have a whole harvest of apples. Last week Bethany asked me if I could help her make applesauce and I figured we had better get at it before her little one makes its appearance. Today we canned 10 quarts of applesauce and I haven't even started on what is in the three laundry baskets. (How will I ever wash my clothes?) It has been suggested that I make oatmeal cookies and put apple in them... I suppose there are several other things we could make and freeze, maybe even apple cider. Just have to pull that apple cider making contraption out of the barn and get it clean... I wonder how much cider I could make? Mmm, sounds good!

Mmmm...apple kuchen, apple pie, apple cider,...or how about just an apple?! You're a busy girl! Today flew by and I feel like I didn't get a lot accomplished. I did get a nap in though. I was afraid if I didn't I'd get headache for the 6th day in a row. So far no headache, but the Dr. wants to see me tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI had a busy day too...but not because of apples. I did have a nice jona-gold for lunch though!
ReplyDeleteOh yumm, apple butter. How about just peel, core, sugar and freeze? You did have a very buzy and productive day!! I allways feel so much better if I have something to show for my time.
