I started with about 3/4 of a bushel of apples and ended up with 9 and 1/2 quarts of applesauce. First, I cut up the apples (saving the cores and bruised spots for the chickens) and cooked them until they were soft.
Next, I ran the apples through the food mill. It's amazing--just put apples in the top, turn the handle and voila'! Peels and seeds from one side, perfect applesauce from the other side.
Then, I heated the applesauce on the stove.
Finally, I put the applesauce into the jars, processed it in the water bath
canner and, presto! Applesauce for the winter.
Looks so good! Fall always makes me want to eat apples by the truckload~ can't wait! =) Have a great weekend!
