yep, I’m done with apples.
Many quarts of applesauce line our basement shelves. And this year I decided to try a freezer recipe for apple pie filling and made enough for ten pies. And we still held a few out for eating now.
Did I mention that the cherubs {a.k.a. my wonderful children} who didn’t quite pick the apples I wanted them to also picked over 100 pounds!? Long story….somehow I thought our friends who joined us were taking a bit of the stash so it’s not a complete case of me not keeping my children in line. And what can you say to the farm, ‘can we put a few back please’? My 5 yr-old suggested that we tape them back on the tree.
I know we’ll be grateful this winter, but for now, I don’t want to see apples for a while.
That’s how I feel about pears- dried pears, pear butter, sliced, pureed, etc. I’m so tired of pears. I know I’ll be glad for them later this winter, but I had to force myself to can that last basketful.
i don’t know where i’ve been but i just caught up on several posts. i just love your blog. you have such a fresh perspective on things. esp with your gratitude posts.
I use to feel that way about corn growing up. My dad grew white corn and yellow corn.
I don’t eat corn today but TS loves it. LOL
You can send some my way anytime. 😉
