Apple Sauce

Today I made apple sauce. We had a bushel of “Ginger Gold” apples, and I sauced the lot of them. 17 containers, so we are good for at least 2 to 3 months on apple sauce.

If you ask google how many apples in a bushel, this is what it says;

One bushel of apples weighs about 42 lbs. One pound of apples generally consists of 4 small apples or 3 medium or 2 large apples.

so think 100-120 odd apples.

The photos show but a fraction of the action

HEY you didn’t peel them so i hope you washed them well.
That should keep Joy happy all that apple sauce what about the little man does he like apple sauce as much as his Mum.

I didnt peel them because the food mill takes them out. Its like a very fine colander with a press, so the apple sauce comes out but the peel stays in. Its all clean. You do have to de seed them tho
