    We got up this morning, went through our routine, washed and set the kitchen up for today’s focus: making applesauce.

    it is always a bit of a “deal”, this canning thing. We have had a ridiculous harvest this year. So many harvested and at least again so many on the Schellinkhouter… then there is the Moonlight . It is also loaded-down.

    So, here we go…
    The apples waiting in the dressing room:

    Then, the “playing field” well into the process, a pause at tea time:

    Finally, the flipping of the full jars:

    Oh, now the real fun begins, listening for the lids to “click-pop” every time one goes, its arms in the air and a “Yea”.
    Yes, it is childish, but it is fun. You know, payment for all the work, right? ;)

    Sjoerd your kitchen’s set like an apple sauce factory. Coring ….chopping.. lots of piece work. Well worth all the effort all season when the end product pops it’s lid for the process to be complete. :smt023:setf_016:

    Annie— it is chunky-cinnamon, mate.

    Pac— We had a good laugh with that reaction of yours RE apple sauce factory. Good one. You are too right when we hear the lids click.
    We were well tuckered after the process, so for tucker, we ordered Chinese. Yum-MIE !

    Zigs— ta. The harvest is a bit overwhelming this year.
