My neighbor has a few apple tree's in her backyard and has been giving me the wormy apples to feed to my horses (which they love). Then the other day she said that she wasn't going to have any time to put up the good apples that she picked and asked if I wanted them. Well at first I was thinking that I don't have any time either, but then I thought, well they are FREE. So I got all my stuff together and went to work washing and peeling and coring and cooking and stirring and filling and cleaning.
And bottling and peeling and cleaning and coring and cooking and filling and on and on an on. I couldn't believe how much work it was to make this stuff.
I was sure glad that my friend down the street let me borrow this apple peeler and corer. It was so handy.
I made many bottles of apple pie filling and I even bought a crust and made a pie during all this bottling action going on. It was so delicious.
And of course, we tried our hand at applesauce too. It turned out way good, but kind of thick. I still have apples that need to be made into something, but I'm not sure if I want to go through all that work again.
