September 20: Applesauce!

Last week's plan was to make some applesauce, but it didn't happen until this week.  I pulled out our apple corer/peeler and a bunch of apples and the adventure began.  Tysen helped me peel/core about five apples and then he was done.  He was fascinated by the machine, but it was a little to difficult for him to operate it on his own. 

We ended up with 24 cups of apples to heat and mash.  Adding the sugar and cinnamon was a learning experience for me since I was winging it.  I think it ended up with too much cinnamon and not enough sugar, but it still tastes fine.  Ironically, Tysen was so excited about making the applesauce, but he wouldn't taste it after I'd finished it.  Oh well...more for me! :)
