It was a small apple year, a mere 3600 lbs. Sadly, in order to preserve marital bliss there was no cider this year as well. Tony and I really enjoyed a day together to go get the apples. We added a new apple variety this year, "honeycrisp," and they made excellent sauce. I spent a good day making applesauce with Jill. She has an awesome applesauce machine and we were able to pump out 5 dozen quarts for the "Riplets." The kids come home every day from school now and ask for "hot applesauce." i remember doing the same thing when I was little. It's been such a beautiful Fall that I've enjoyed every canning day, especially the ones with friends.
