applesauce

some of you have heard the saga 

of the apples already.

in september, my father-in-law generously

allowed me to pick about a million apples

and other various fruits from his yard.

they were lovely apples 

and i had every intention of 

turning them into applesauce and 

canning them right away.

then life happened.

fast forward to november 1st.

i had managed to peel, core, and cut the apples,

but ended up sticking the lot in my freezer

due to lack of time and 

a large enough pot to can them in.

then, much to my surprise and delight,

my father-in-law came to the rescue in that respect too!

a lovely pressure cooker/canner arrived in the mail.

and i FINALLY managed to turn all those beautiful apples 

into jars of canned applesauce.

ready for sharing and 

consuming through the winter months!

aren't they beautiful?
i feel SO much better now that it's done!
