11.05.16 Saturday Applesauce Day

Well it was round 2 of applesauce at the McDermitt household!  I had bought 1/2 bushel of Ida Red Apples when I was in NJ last week.  Today was the day they became applesauce.  I make unsweentened applesauce.  I leave the skins on when I cook them and they turn out a lovely pinkish color.  Jenny, my daughter has chickens and I know her girls will love the apple cores, skins, etc. that I'm going to take to them tomorrow!

First I cooked the apples until they became soft.

I then proceeded to put the cooked apples in a food mill and presto applesauce!!

2 of the 6 quart jars of applesauce I made today :)!

6 in all today!  I love homemade things and applesauce is one of them!!


Will we have a little of the new applesauce tonight with dinner!  I have a stuffed flank steak in the oven.  Oh the timer just went off-gotta run!!
