Hello,
We were given a big bag of apples. Canning,
when Leroy is home to help, appealed to me so we did that today. I thought we
might have enough for a canner full, seven quarts, or maybe not. It turned out
to be closer to eight quarts, but of course we only canned the seven. We ate
some of the spare sauce and pronounce it quite fine. We make it without sugar. We
did not peel the apples and did not run them through the mill. It is chunky
applesauce, but really we cooked it to mostly mush. The red color is quite nice
looking.
It has been two or three years since
we have had home canned applesauce and we have both missed it. “Store bought”
is just not as good. We are blessed with the generosity of others.
We are getting the last things out of
the community garden that will not handle a low freeze. We had forgotten to
take the knife so we will have to go back another time. Oh well, we can do
this.
Paula
