We picked up a bushel of apples on Friday. We washed them that night so Lisa could transform them into applesauce on Sunday. So today after Mass Lisa got busy. She cooked up some frozen blackberries from this summer while the apples were cooking down. She cooked the blackberries so she could strain out the large seeds. Once the apples were cooked down she strained them in her KitchenAid mixer fruit strainer. It takes out the skin and leaves a nice applesauce puree. Then the berries and apples were mixed together along with some sugar and a sprinkling of cinnamon. YUM. Total yield was 7 quarts and 4 pints. Only half the bushel was used today. The other half bushel will be mixed 2 different ways. One batch will get mixed as cinnamon applesauce and another batch will get mixed with some of the rhubarb we harvested this summer.
