Canning day in September. Christa, Scott & Angela came home to help.
Grandpa & Bonnie came to help cut apples. We did 81 quarts of applesauce.
I put everyone to work. . .hard work! Give people with muscles the tough work.
Of course, we had chocolate cake to put applesauce on.
Ed was our "canner man". We gave him full jars as fast as we could.
He kept up and even waited on us occasionally.
The "thinker" and the canner.
We canned 23 quarts of V-6 juice. Can't you just smell the peppers and onions?
The night before, Ed & I pulled the grapes off the stems, cooked them, and put them in pillowcases overnight to drain.
We canned 26 quarts of grape juice. Yum!
The weather was perfect for ripening the apples. They "blushed" nicely.
It was a good weekend and we got a lot done. Angela also made 3 batches of brown bobbies, but I must have been too tired to get inside to take a picture.
We got all this done after a pancake breakfast and before supper at 6:30.
