apple day

So at the end of our sick week we decided to keep our plans of canning apples with Kevin's family. Here are just a few pics. None of our finished products... 28 Quarts Apple Pie Filling (thanks Tegan for the recipe), 14 pints "death apple rings" and 35 pints apple sauce....all in about 10 hrs. Not too shabby! We were EXHAUSTED afterwards tho.

a few of the 13 boxes of apples

Linda stirring our first batch of pie filling
*yes we had propane going in the house all day*
**and yes we had ALL possible windows open all day**

And then the COOLEST invention ever!!!

An apple peeler/core-er/slicer
this made pie filling a breeze to do!!!
I want to get me one of these!
