When Life Hands You Apples, Make Applesauce

We've had a bumper crop of apples this year--our trees and Dad's are just loaded. So, we decided to make applesauce. M picked apples from our trees (unknown variety--red) and from Dad's (Granny Smith). He and T washed them.

M trimmed and cut the apples.


He put them on to cook until soft.

Then, M ran them through the food mill. He did three batches of cooked apples through the mill. After that, we put the sauce in a large pot, added a little sugar, cooked it for 5 minutes, and put it in the jars. We got 7 quart jars plus 3 (1.5 pint) freezer dishes of sauce.

(The jar lids are not actually pink, it is a reflection from the camera light).
