Check out this contraption.  It peels apples in a jiffy.  It probably cores them too, but I can't figure out how to do that.  So we use that other tool on the counter to core them.  Then I just have to clean them up a bit, chop them coursely and put them in a big pot for an hour or so.  We add a little sugar and a lot of cinnamon and then can it.  

 

We filled the big pot half full, and ended up with 7 pints of apple sauce.  

 

And the deer LOVE the trimmings.  It is hilarious to see them pick up a mouthful of peels;  it looks like they are eating spaghetti.  Anyway, our apple sauce is delicious, and everybody here is happy.

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
