Preserving the Harvest... Or Other Things

It's always interesting to see that NoL has updated the blog when I go to post something new. Since she's done so, there is no reason to write about the apple picking event, though I'm pretty sure we are going to need to go back. I managed to make the apples in cinnamon red-hot sauce today, with NoL's help (she peeled the apples). I don't know whether the jars are going to seal or not (I haven't heard anything but that doesn't mean that haven't made that satisfying "pop" sound. Now, I'm making the Thai Dipping Sauce I have been planning on making for a while, but I kind of didn't read the directions correctly, so it might end up being stronger than it is supposed to be. Oh well. As long as it seals, we can try to use it.

I might try to do some candy apple jelly, which I have not yet done, but have planned on doing, soon. Then, I want to do apple pie jam, brandied apple rings, and perhaps even caramel apple jam. Cause apples are fun.

Once done with those, I will have exhausted my apple stuff, although applesauce is always a possibility.

There are multiple other things to be made yet, but happily, none require things I must pick. So, just through the winter I'll be making more things.
