Reason number 89 that we love homeschooling (soon I'll get into the other 88 reasons)- today was declared to be applesauce making day. We spent a good portion of our day chopping and peeling apples and then making and canning the sauce. Thanks to this handy, dandy blog I remembered that sweet sixteen apples are the way to go if you don't want to have to put sugar in your sauce. So this year we picked all sweet sixteens. A ridiculous amount actually. Despite the fact that we canned up 7 big jars of sauce (I used my weck jars so the sizes are different- not pints or quarts) there are still several baskets of apples to get through. That's okay though, apples are one of my favorite things to cook and can. I do wish my camera wasn't broken though because they are also one of my favorite things to photograph. Anyways, more canning and baking ahead this weekend.
