A friend gave me some apples from her trees, so I decided to make applesauce. It took awhile to get them all peeled and sliced to fill up my big stockpot.
Here is the applesauce when it was finished. I added some cinnamon and some organic sugar to taste because the apples were a little on the tart side.
I usually can my applesauce, but I decided to freeze this batch because I didn't have a huge amount. I plan on getting more apples later to make more sauce and pies for my freezer. I'll be glad when all my apple trees kick it in gear and start giving me some apples!
The same friend also gave me a few peaches from her tree and they were so good. They were little white peaches with great flavor. The kids couldn't stop eating them, but I did manage to get another double batch of peach jam made. Yay!
I love preserving food for the rest of the year. I hope to someday have a root cellar and pantry stocked full with our garden's bounty.
