Applesauce
This post is from a few weeks back. I have been meaning to blog about our applesauce making, but I kept forgetting until we began delving into the delicious jars. One day we finally decided to process all the apples we picked during the snow storm. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the time it would take to peel and core every apple particularly because they were quite irregular in shape and I knew my handy apple corer wouldn't completely do the job. So, I borrowed my neighbors' food mill/strainer. This is my newest favorite kitchen tool! Amazing! All you do is de-stem the apples and quarter them. Then you cook them up and put them through the food mill. Instant applesauce and Finn loved using the machine too. It has all different types of strainers for a variety of fruits and veggies. And then the applesauce gets that beautiful rosy color fromt he red apple peels. I feel like I should be on an infomercial for it, but we really did have a good time. And the applesauce is wonderful. It is strictly apples with no sugar added so that Josette can happily partake too. She is as big a fan of it as the rest of us!

looks fun!! we have that food mill and make applesauce with it all the time too. if you have a kitchenaid, i know they make a food mill attachment for it. although, that might ruin finn's fun in using the machine.
We have an older version of that food mill as well. We made more applesauce this year than ever before. We don't even bother coring the apples. Miles is our apple washer and then we cut each apple into quarters and then each quarter in about 3 pieces and let them cook with half a cup of water and 3 cinnamon sticks. Yummmm! Becky convinced us to try apple pear sauce this year too.
