Frozen Applesauce for Ryan

6-7# (Mom's big stockpot full of whole apples) Haralson apples yielded 6 pints unsweetened applesauce.


More frozen applesauce for Ryan

6# 10oz (Mom's big stockpot full) Haralson apples yielded 6 pints unsweetened applesauce.

And more frozen applesauce for Ryan.

6# 10oz apples (1# 3oz are Mom's Haralsons; the rest are from Luanne) yielded 6 pints unsweetened applesauce. This batch is slightly sweeter than the previous two.

We did end up with two cereal bowls full (total) that we ate. And actually, it's more for the niblings than for Ryan.
