Last fall (2009), we made 21 quarts of applesauce. This year, I made about 7, but still worth it!
The kitchen becomes a workshop!
First you wash the apples...
Then you quarter them...
Put 'em in a big pot
Add a little water and cook 'em til they're soft but not mushy
Get your water-bath canner ready (fill with water and bring to a boil); Start sanitizing those lids too!
Set up the "Squeeze-O"
Mash the apples through the squeeze-o
See the pretty applesauce come through the filter!
Ladle the applesauce into a jar using a wide-mouthed funnel and sanitized jars!
Put the lids on, making sure no water is on the rim, and stick 'em in the water-bath
Process 20 minutes with the lid on, and then let them cool!
Pink Lady apples make pink applesauce. :)

That is the type of instructions that would get me to try this, pictures and all! Thanks, Lovely.
I want yummy applesauce. Maybe that should be our next cooking adventure together.
