Apple's apple's,  every where is Apple's. Thank goodness there are tons of things, that you can make with Apple's.  Which leads me to show you how to make Apple sauce. Half bushel of macintosh apples pleaded cored and chunked 3 quarts water 1 cup honey 1 table spoon cinnamon optional Place Apple's in a big stock pot with water heat on stove on medium high bring to a boil for about 2 min.  Remove from heat and strain. Place Apple's in blender and mash them up when finished pour into a big bowl. Next add cinnamon and honey to bowl of Apple's mix well. This will make about 12 pint jars. Processing jars in your canner per its instructions. Now don't dump out that juice from Apple's look at my blog for Cider.

           Tis the season for Apple picking This is so so good. And very easy to do as well not only do you get cider, but you also get Apple sauce. Half bushel of Apple's I use Macintosh apples wash them well. 1 cinnamon stick 1 cup honey / or sugar. I use honey cause it works better. Peel your Apple.  Save the peels discard the core. Chunk your apples up in a big stock pot.  Add about 4 quarts water cook the apples till they are soft and you can mash them, with a potato masher. In other pan cook Apple peels in 2 quarts water, till the Apple on the peels comes off. Next strain your Apple chunks into another stock pot press them a couple times. Use the apples to make Apple sauce. Next strain the peels into the same pan. Next add sugar and cinnamon stick to pot stir. Let cinnamon stick sit in pot for about 30 min and remove. And there you have it my cider.  Which is very good on a cold day warmed with a little nip of rum you will be good to go.
