applesauce


Hubby's parents have a few apple trees at their farm...lucky us!  Each fall, we get bags of apples to enjoy.  Last year, we made a few batches of applesauce.  We loved it so much that this year we went a little crazy.



But before we actually got to peeling the apples, Peach dug in and tasted them fresh off the tree.




After some delicious crispiness, we decided to get crackin'. 

This little guy is worth his weight in gold for projects like this.

A mountain of juicy goodness

The compost bucket was overflowing

ready to simmer....

Several hours later, we had 3 crock pots full of warm, delicious applesauce.

We gave some away, froze some and gobbled the rest up.

The best part?  Our house smelled like an orchard for days.  Oh, how I love fall for this very reason....and at least a dozen others.

My only complaint is that this blessed season just doesn't last long enough.
