We started off by washing all the apples, which we bought for only $12 a box because they were the "left overs" and so were kinda scary lookin', but we didn't mind, you cut off and out all the scariness anyway! Then we stuck 'em on the apple peeler doohicky and twist the handle and voila! You have yourself not only a peeled apple but a cored one as well! At this point, we took a break and fed the peels to Russell's cows. That was pretty fun watching them run eachother over trying to get to those apples first! Madison even tried to feed a calf part of an apple, brave little girl! So, back to the apples... now you finish de-scarying them, boil them and add all the spices. Next, carefully put the apple goop in the prepared jars, put the lids on, steam 'em, and let them seal. I have to tell you, the "pop" sound they make is the best sound in the world to hear when you're canning! We made 13 quarts of apple pie filling, 9 pints of apple sauce and have a crock pot of apple butter simmering overnight that (I think) will make 6 pints. And guess what?! They all sealed (so far)!! Yeehaw! I am definately pround of myself today.
Disclaimer: Just FYI, we aren't keeping all of this apple stuff! Most of it will be Christmas presents!
