Apple- icious!!!
Living in the Northeast brings many sweet rewards...
Apples, Peaches, Pumpkins, Grapes, and more!
Our Annual Apple Picking Day was a HOOT! We picked 146#'s of apples,,, some of our favorites are..
Gala... Jonamac...Mac's and Honey Crisp.
.
What do we do with all of these apples?
We chop them, cook them, run them through a mill, and make applesauce.
We Steam them, juice them, and make apple pie filling!
We dehydrate them into apple slices.
We make apple butter...
But most of all..
We enjoy our FAMILY TIME together.
Do you have a favorite family tradition?
And to top it all off... I will share my Apple Butter recipe with you
You must try this treat...use it on your warm, buttered toast in the morning,,
In a sandwich..
Or even.. on a spoon!
TRY and ENJOY!

What a great time. I love apples. My kids do too. I was just thinking of apple butter the other day. I made some real apple butter 20 yrs ago at a church camp I worked at. It was alot of fun. We cooked it outside over a fire and everything. I'm gonna try yours for sure.
Thanx for sharing this. Beautiful pics too. Family time is the BEST !!!
