Apples











We gathered winesap apples from a neighbor and proceeded to "do apples." Katy helped Grandad peel the apples with the peeler, she loved it. We peeled, cut, froze, and sauced at least a bushell of apples. We sent a bunch to Aunt Mary and she dried them on screens in the sun, they will be used for fried pies later. We froze a lot for cooking through the winter and made some into apple sauce. We also made some "pear butter." Every thing turned out well and we have already enjoyed some of the frozen apples, applesauce and pear butter, now it's time to make some fried apple pies, yum!
