These are sitting in my kitchen right now and I can't wait to turn them into applesauce tomorrow! I'm a rookie at canning, but the tomato sauce turned out well last month, so I have high hopes for the applesauce.Doesn't homemade applesauce taste incredible? I remember when I was growing up my Mom always made applesauce, and then she'd freeze it all. Us kids used to pull it right out of the freezer, scrape some off the top and eat a bowlful while it was still icy! Mmmm, so yummy!
I tasted a friend's homemade applesauce last week, and if mine turns out half as good as hers, I'll be satisfied. She used half MacIntosh and half Cortland, so that's what I bought. Soooo looking forward to eating homemade applesauce all winter and at a fraction of the cost of store bought. That always makes things taste better, too, don't ya think? :) I'll keep you posted on how this all goes tomorrow!

You can do it, you can do it! My slaves...I mean my "kids" and I did 10 baskets today! They were SUCH a big help, I couldn't have done it without them. And my house smells wonderful right now...though the kitchen is a little sticky. :) But Scott came home with Chick-fil-a and dismantled the mill and washed it for me (what a guy!). Can't wait to hear of your success!
Wow, Abbi! 10 baskets?!! Good for you! I guess with another little one on the way, you can never have enough applesauce. :) Hope you can relax today!
