Thanks to some friends, we recently were blessed with fresh apples at 17 cents a pound! We ended up getting ninety gallons of apples, entirely filling the trunk of our car, plus some in the back seat. When we brought them home, they covered the couch, the dining table, and the floor of the back entry. Since we brought them home two days before Thanksgiving, we had work to do to have enough room to make and eat the feast on Thursday. Wednesday, thanks to the help of some other friends, we got sixty quarts done up into pie filling and applesauce. There are still many to do, but since apples don't get soft like other fruit they are keeping long enough for us to get to them.
These are the jars for the first day.

All finished (with the first batch)!

Wow, where did all those apples come from? Up in the Mariposa area?
I know there is an apple farm that we get to thru Susie Fickling----just curious.
Happy apple eating.
No, we actually got them from the Mennonites up in Squaw Valley.
