Dad Came up this weekend to help us tackle the many holes that came as the result of getting new plumbing. I would have taken more pictures but:
1. I was busy making more apple butter
2. I was taking care of the kiddos
3. I scared dad so bad when I took this one picture, I didn't dare do it again. (He thought he had hit an electrical line when the flash from the camera went off! SORRY DAD!!)
If you remember my friends and I got 8, 5 gallon buckets of apples for free. Well this last week I spent A LOT of time making 26 pints of apple sauce, 12 pints of apple butter, 1.5 gallons of dried apples and 15 quarts of pie apples. Can I just say I'm all appled out!! I don't want to see another apple for a while. :) Now many of you might be thinking: "Is it worth it?" And my answer is: YES! Here are my reasons why:
1. I know exactly what has gone into my apple sauce/apple butter/pie apples
2. I can look at everything I did and feel good
3. I have saved us money! I broke down the cost of each jar and here it is:
$.55/pint and $.72/quart...deal or no deal?

Holy Moly that's a lot of apples. Looks YUUMY though and sooooo worth it!
Fantastic! You could give out dried apples for Halloween treats!
Good for you! That is AWESOME! I am quite proud of you :)
You're so awesome!! I'm so jealous... I've been trying to find places like that around here with no luck. I would love to can things. Love you!!
