One of my neighbors picked up a bunch of apples from another neighbor and offered me some. When I got over there he offered me the whole bucket.
I accepted. I still have my own apples but the tree is still young. I might have enough to make a bowl of applesauce but not enough to can.
I knew I was going to make applesauce. It seems like last time I made applesauce I was surprised by how fast it went.
Must be a fake memory leading to today when I was surprised by how long it took. I started at 9:30 thinking I’d have everything sliced and diced and cooking in the pot by 10:00. Insert 100 laughing emojis.
But also: that’s a lot of apples. I even have a little sore place on my hand from cutting up so many apples.
I just cut out any bruises or icky spots and the core and then cook. Then I run it through the applesauce strainer.
I intended to research if there was anything I could add that might boost the flavor but never did so this was just apples and water and it came out *amazing.* This is a poor photo which is why I am not a food blogger.
There’s a lot going and and I’m still getting through by the seat of my pants. Coverage will continue in this fashion until further notice.
