I Can Can, and I'm Not Talking Dancing

After about five years, I decided to do some canning this year. Calvin brought home five bags of apples (my apologies to the person who may have put two bags aside, but that Calvin took also)
from work, so I got busy! I tried a new recipe and method to make apple butter, which involved using a crockpot. It took alot longer than my usual oven method, but it still made the house smell good and netted 9 pints of apple butter.
And here are the 18 quarts of applesauce that I also canned! I even got a great deal on the jars and lids at a little secondhand shop here in town. Instead of paying almost $10 for new jars, I paid $3.60 for a dozen. Woohoo! Can't wait to get my canning supplies moved up here from PA.
