Step Two: Pick some apples.
Our apples came from Stoney Ridge Farm and a friend's family's orchard.
Make sure you get a variety, at least three different kinds, to create an interesting flavor. We used jonagold, golden delicious, and melrose.
Step Three: Wash, peel, and slice the apples.
Step Four: Combine apples, apple cider, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a large pot. Simmer for about twenty minutes, until the apples are soft but not mushy. Smash it all up.
Step Five: Take it outside to cool. (We were under a time crunch).
Step Six: Invest time to make cute little labels.
Step Seven: Pour into jars.
Step Eight: Add the labels and enjoy a Farm Wife morning.

Hey we made (canned) applesauce too! Except we got to borrow a friend's cool thing called a Victoria strainer. All you have to do is chop the apples and cook them for a bit and smash them into this crank/strainer and out comes applesauce! While the yucky core, seeds, and skin go out another direction. It was so nice! I forgot to take pictures though. Home made applesauce is good isn't it?
what?! i want one of those things!
Great photos! I make applesauce for my daughter - so much better than the jarred stuff for babies and easy too!
it is super easy! i never realized it before.
Yummmm I want some! And I want to be a farm wife.
