Applesauce!




My friend, Jesi, and I spent about 18 total hours cutting, washing, boiling, mushing, and canning apples to make yummy applesauce yesterday. It was a very sticky process, but we had a blast. Special thanks to other friends who lent us the tools we needed, IFA for having inexpensive jars, my dear land-lady for allowing to pick all the apples from the tree in our backyard, and my super-husband for taking a vacation day from work to watch our kids and my friend's kids so that we could do it all.

So how many jars did you end up with? It seems like all my friends are canning applesauce this month. I however have not given in to the peer pressure.

So cool. Remember the days we used to wake up at 4 in the morning in Logan, eat your grandmas most delicious applesauce, and then you'd drive us up the canyon to do a long run? I'm pretty sure I think of those good times just about every time I eat applesauce. Now you'll probably think of this 18 hour project every time you eat it. Too bad you can't count it for a personal progress project. I want to try yours. Let's get together.

After last year, I'm going to take a little break from apples. :) Katie looks too cute in that little lamb outfit!
