Reason 897...

As I mentioned in my previous post, I love Fall. There's lots to love about it... cooler weather, beautiful trees, leaves crunching under foot... and apples. Fall means apples are good again. Our neighbors have an apple tree which they let us pilfer to our heart's desire, which I have done twice now in order to make applesauce. I can't say I'm a big fan of just any old applesauce... well, actually, I can say quite frankly I don't really like applesauce - except for homemade, straight from the tree, chunky, full of cloves and nutmeg applesauce.
As much as I enjoy homemade applesauce, I don't enjoy the process of making it. But, my boys love it and it's a happy reminder of warmer days in the middle of the frigid winter. So, Tuesday night was applesauce night. I got out the trusty apple-corer-peeler-slicer and got to work.
Reason number 897 that I love Vince... he joined me and helped core, peel and slice all the apples. He even put on an apron. I love Fall and homemade applesauce... but I love my husband infinitely more than those two things combined!

I love your applesauce too! Maybe you'll share some when I come to visit? It would be nice to have an apple tree near by to pilfer.

Hey--do I have to shoot out a baby to score some of your yummy sauce? ;) We really enjoyed it last year, and we'd love to enjoy it again. Maybe I'll try to bribe Grandma Black to sneak me some whilst she's here. I'd even be willing to pay...
