A friend of mine brought over a bushel and a half of apples Monday and we went to work peeling, and coring. My fingers cramped up and my fingernails are still stained. But the results are so worth it. I canned 3 quarts & 12 half pints of apple butter; 1 quart, 4 pints, & 6 half pints of apple jelly; and 7 quarts of apple sauce. I will be so thankful I did this come winter time. ;)

I've never done canning. Good work!
I LOVE it when people share pictures of their activities like this. Just making jam was such a big job for me, I can imagine your back was aching by the end of the day. And it took me weeks to get the blueberry stain from under my nails.
Good job! You're right, it will be so nice for your family to have all this come winter time.
Love your kitchen!! :o)
The apples look absolutely tantalizing!! Just think how much your family will enjoy these homemade treats during the fall and winter months ahead... hmmm, mind if I drop by for a snack sometime?? ;o)
