Saucey.

When you live in Apple Hill and are raised on homemade applesauce, the jars on the market shelf look pretty sad. In early October my dad and I picked the apples from five trees with the intent of making our sauce. My dad has a sweet set up for canning and he knows everything about the process from years of experience. We did a batch shortly after we picked the apples and then finished on Monday. And now I am so pleased as I look at my pantry shelf and smile at the juicy sauce inside those jars. I feel as productive as a pioneer or Ma from Little House on the Prairie, storing up the apples for the winter.


Coring and peeling the apples.


Apple Juice + Apples + Cinnamon Sticks =


Sauce.


Cooling off for the pantry. YUM.
