Cortland Applesauce

While Grandma Moo was here a several weeks ago she brought a bushel of Cortland apples to make applesauce. Here is the process...

The apples are a real deep red color and thus makes the applesauce a pretty pink color.
Cut up the apples, no need to peel or de-pit them.
We put them right into the pressure cooker until doneThis is what they look like when done.
Then we put it through the squeezo strainer...that was most fun for Silas.

Silas making sure it is all mixed.
Getting all the jars ready to be filled.Filling the jars.
All the jars are put into a water bath, brought to a boil and boiled for 20 minutes.And there we have delicious applesauce for the winter.
