Hallelujah

It took me forever, my hand keeps cramping up but I did it. I finally finished my apples and I have reclaimed my kitchen counters.

Here is what 75 pound of apples will get you:
8 apple pies
appx. 7 Quarts of applesauce
5 batches of dried apple chips
1 apple bavarian torte and one more to come for Thanksgiving.
1 batch of apple bars
15 left over apples for eating (love those fujis)
and countless apples already eaten, at least an apple or two a day for the last two weeks.

Yeah! Now for my next project, Christmas shopping. Thank Heavens its going to be an easy year since we, like many of the rest of you, are pulling in the reigns on Christmas spending.
