We harvested about 4 bushels of apples from our trees.  Yay!!!  Our squirrel-proofing worked!!!

 

We started canning applesauce, but still have a couple more days to go before we are finished.  Sandy canned 30 quarts and as many pints from her 4 bushels of apples.  She worked constantly for two days.  We have also made apple pies, apple cakes, and fed a bunch to the deer.  

 

When we were little, there was an apple tree in the back yard.  We all have fond memories of Momma and Nanny and BeeBee sitting in the shade of the apple tree, peeling apples by hand.  They made a LOT of applesauce.  

 

And our friend, Ruby Whitman made tons of apple cake.  Her recipe is in the recipe section.  Try it:  it is easy and delicious.

 

HAPPY FALL!!!
