9 pints of apple butter. 4 pints of pear butter. 2.5 gallons of grape juice.
I picked up a bit of fruit when we visited my family a week ago. I can make grape jelly in a few weeks. Have to let any tartaric acid settle out of the grape juice.

3 days. Takes so much time to cook things down.
Picking grapes was my least favorite

Made apple pie filling for the first time today. It's good but I'm not a fan of the large amount of sugar that went into it. I like making my pies with fresh produce so that's what I'll keep on doing. I never used canned
fruit filling for pies anyways. I was just sick of making and canning applesauce so I thought I would give this a try

That filling works well for an apple upside down cake. Like you, I prefer fresh for my apple pies -- less sugar.
But that's a pretty jar of apples.

I've made apple pie filling before. I always add fresh apples (yes, costly) to what ever I'm making with it. YUMMY!!

Not today but in the past week I have been bombarded with fruit from commodities and the Catholic Community Center from neighbors who collect their food but don’t necessarily use it all so I suddenly had plums, peaches that were kissed by the cold and maybe had a brownish tinge to the flesh and blueberries so I started making plum preserves (first time with plums ever) and I canned with a hot water bath. Pooped me out. So the next day DH made preserves with the peaches and the rest of the plums and blueberries so I had to just find the kitchen, locate jars and give a hot water bath but needed to do it a long time because I didn’t pack it hot. Now I found a wet spot underneath the sink that needs cleaning and fixing but I have less empty jars and more food in the pantry.
