I guess I still can, but I'm getting a little tired of it going solo.
The latest additions: another four quarts of applesauce and six half-pints of apple preserves. I'll use the apple preserves to make mini-apple tarts for Xmas parties. It's a little too sweet in large quantities. (Note to self: drastically reduce the amount of sugar when using home-grown apples!)
I just made another apple cake today. In my haste to
I figure that
Yes, I still have copious amounts of apples in the fridge and garage, although I'm down to about 10 pounds in the garage and five in the fridge. Unfortunately, few are good for baking. I really need to borrow a dehydrator, or get racks for my oven. Apparently the manufacturer makes special racks (my oven has a special dehydrator setting), but they're not telling where you can get them. Typical.

Ooh, I love apple chips. My mother has a dehydrator that works well.
I was wondering what you did for rings when you canned? Never seen them without lids.
Great pics, thanks for sharing, and that's one amazing haul of apples!
Lastly, love the side notes, cross outs, very funny! Thanks!
Yes, that is an amazing amount of apples. I'm (actually) hoping that next year I don't get more than what I managed this year. Apple chips sound wonderful. I've heard that apple pie made from dried apples is way better than fresh? I really need to find a way to dry fruit.
As for the canning rings, you actually take them off after the jars have cooled from processing. If properly sealed, the jars don't need the rings during storage, and shouldn't have them on. So I have a drawer full of rings that are only used for during processing and then again once the jar has been opened.
Have a good one!
Good to know! I guess we have a ton more rings than you do, hehe. Great money saving technique! Thanks and enjoy the apples!
