apple-rific!

One of my coworkers mentioned that her neighbour had an apple tree which was overflowing.... so we went over after work to relieve the tree of some apples. Actually, a lot of apples. The haul mostly filled our 50 qt. cooler. Wow.

With some help from hubby's family we moved into assembly-line rinsing, grading, peeling and chopping of the apples, then made 5 pies(!!) and we still have about 10 lbs of apples to eat (his family kept half) plus another 6 or 7 lbs of bruised and dented apples for applesauce.

Although after all that... I'm not sure I want to see an apple for a few days.

We're going through apples (and oranges and carrots and ginger and bee troot and, and, and, and...) by the bucketload due to the arrival in the house of a wonderful juicer. Mmm-MMmm! Highly recommended for high fruit and veg consumption. Oh, hell, just highly recommended.
