Every year, I think, "no, we are not going to mess with all the work of making applesauce this year." And every year when apple time comes around I change my mind!!! (And really, once you have homemade applesace, it is impossible to go back to the jar stuff.) This year we did scale it back quite a bit because the 3+ bushels that we did last year was a bit much, not only for processing, but we still had quarts in the freezer from that batch! And every year, bless her dear heart, Steve's mom calls and asks if she can come and help us with applesauce. We love the extra help and company in the kitchen (always so much better to do work with others!), and she loves helping and the time with the kids as the kids all love to help too. So here we go...
(With Grace and Willem at school, these two are the main helpers!)
(but Grace and Willem made sure we promised to save some work for them after school)
1 day, 2 bushels of apples into 24 quarts of applesauce to eat and share for the year. Maybe next year we will skip it...but you know we won't. =)
