Today’s blog is dedicated to making apple sauce. It tastes great yum!

A friend at work thinks I have a version of fugi apples on my tree in my back yard and they are wonderful apples plain or in apple sauce. Apple sauce is a good way to take care of apples that have occupants or squatters. You can cut away the bad parts (worms don’t pay rent), the core and skin and wash the apple and then dice up into small pieces. A crock pot full of sliced apples ends up melting down to about a third of the crockpot.

You put the apples in the crockpot and cook on high for about three hours. Add about a tablespoon or palm full of red-hot cinnamon candy. That way you get some wonderful cinnamon flavor with some sweet. Yum.

Once it’s melted you can put the cooked apples into a blender and mix until it has a smooth texture. Put them in serialized quart bottles and put on sterilized lids and tighten the rings but not excessively so.

A family member cooked my apples in her water bath canner for about 40 min. that will seal the lids and then you can make sure the rings on the bottles are tight. My sister said it took about 93 medium, apples, (this batch didn’t have squatters to make about 8 quarts of apples. So it takes a lot of work to get the end product but it sure tastes good.

If I don’t watch it I’m going to learn how to do all kinds of things. Within the laws few weeks I’ve done quilting, homemade grape juice, and homemade applesauce. I had better stop before this becomes a habit.
