Apples, apples, apples!

Whew! Half way through. Gallon and a half of apple sauce, 6 pints of apple butter, a bag of apple leather, 2 bags of dehydrated apples, 2 pints of spiced apple preserves and a couple of sliced frozen apples for smoothies.

I am taking a break from apples now. Starting to hate them!

Someone just offered me free picking of their plum tree too. Hmm...

If you eat apple pies, you could freeze apple pie filling in a bag, set into a pie pan. When frozen, pop the frozen bag full of filling out of the pie pan. That way, when you make a pie, you have the filling prepared to just pop into the pan of pie crust, allow to thaw a bit and pop it in the oven. (lots of popping going on here!)
Or send them to me and I will do it.

What a clever idea! I will definitely try that.

AmKuska, go for those free plums! Do you have an extra freezer? I know what they say about the power going out. Our power goes out usually twice a year but just for a few minutes. I love freezing stuff cause it's soooo much easier. I'm starting to freeze my salsa now instead of canning it. It was taking forever just to boil that water!

I do but it is full to the top. I've been freezing veggies etc. as they come along from the garden.
