Back to the Apple Orchard!
Well, if you can believe it we are already through all of our apples! Yesterday Eileen had a half day (Olivia only goes in the morning), so after lunch we took a trip back to the apple orchard. The kids had a blast (this time they knew what they were doing!). We picked Spartan, Jonathan, Red Delicious, and Cortland. Today Joseph and I worked on turning some of those red beauties into applesauce and apple butter. After they were put through the food mill, I did my first canning!! I am so excited, and as far as I can tell it was a success (the lids did exactly what the book and Mom said they should).
Joseph found some great apples
Olivia filling her bag
Eileen surveying her area
Joseph taking his turn with the food mill
My first batch of apple butter
The applesauce
Joseph wanted his picture taken with the applesauce he helped make!
