November 2012
One of the great things about living in Idaho, is that a lot of the produce (when it is in season) is dirt cheap. I got 2 bushels of apples for $30. Now that's a whole bunch of apples (think 2 large laundry baskets running-over-full). And they were nice, meaty apples. I stored them in the mud room where it is nice and cool, so they'd keep as long as possible. I used them in school lunches until the poor kids couldn't look at 'em anymore.
I decided to can them. Originally, I had intended to make apple pie filling. It's quick and easy. But, the apples had gotten too soft. So applesauce it was.
Yep, count 'em. 27 quarts.
I did that.
All by myself.
And my back payed for it for a week.
