I spent today making applesauce - all day - 9 am until 6 pm (with breaks to have a snack, eat lunch and to take the girls to the dentist). I used all 4 boxes of apples that were left and made 22 bottles (quarts?). Add that to the 11 I made before and I have 33 quarts of applesauce I made all by my own little self. I combined the Red Delicious apples Shawn's parents brought with the 3 boxes of Jonathan apples we picked and they made a pretty pinkish applesauce. I used up all but 1 of my quart jars and I am so glad it's done!
Here's a picture of my kitchen in process and the finished product!

Way to go Lauri! Making apple sauce alone is hard work. Cleaning up the sticky mess after words is never fun either. Way to be motivated. I am impressed!

I'm impressed too! I need to learn how to can more stuff - all the tricks and tools. This year was my first attempt ever and I did salsa, but I won't say how many jars I got because it's really embarrassing!
Good job. I know how hard it is, now the problem will be do you like applesauce enough to finish it all before it goes bad? I bet you will be fine. I haven't canned anything in years. Maybe next year!!? Check out my site there is some good news there!
Wow thats a ton! :) Yum-o
