Pumpkins in the water

The rains of the last weekend of September 

flooded fields of pumpkins in Northern VT and NH

sending pumpkins down the Connecticut River !

Apple sauce day

Made 18 quarts of apple sauce !

Yummy !

we paid 15 dollars for a bushel and a half

the apple varieties 

were Macoun and Cortland 

We just cut the apples in quarters with seeds and skins 

then cook them with a little of water

then run everything thru a food mill 

and pour it in jars and canned them for 20 minutes

in hot water!
