That’s for taking us along during this process! It was fun to see some tips and general knowledge on apple processing!

Great job getting all of those apples preserved! That amaranth is so pretty!

I love apple harvest time. We have an area close to our home that we visit. They show the process of making apple cider from the apples picked in the orchards. It’s a beautiful place where they sell fresh apple pies made fresh in the many local restaurants. Your passion shows in your endless energy and enjoyment in doing what you love. Thank you for another great video!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

The place near you sounds like a wonderful spot! 😀 Are you planning on making any apple treats your self this season?

[@annaleeryen3528]

@@bluebirdhomestead we will be visiting this wonderful orchard paradise but I am sure I will be purchasing one of there wonderful freshly baked apple pies which always are better than mine. I once canned and cooked when the family was growing up and in the home. Now, at 76 and just the two of us, I’m happy to buy fresh healthy foods from local stores and farmers markets. You are an amazing lady who makes me smile watching all your energy and passion. Enjoy every moment!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

@@annaleeryen3528 aww thank you! I am sure their freshly baked apple pie is delicious, it sounds wonderful! 😊

[@GardeningwithBarchuckin]

Making and canning your own apple sauce is pretty cool. Apple chips look good too. The apple trees my brother picked up are honey crisp and pink lady. They haven’t started producing yet but this was only there second year.

[@bluebirdhomestead]

That’s awesome that he was able to plant some! We have been on the lookout for a honey crisp tree with no luck yet.

[@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994]

Nothing tastes any better than homemade applesauce! It freezes great too in large ziplock bags . Rinse out bags when finished and use again☺️

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Indeed! I love homemade applesauce. Great tip on freezing in bags! I have frozen the applesauce in years past, but never in ziplocks. 👍😃

[@downundervlogs]

Anything with apples is always so delicious. I enjoyed watching the process. 😀

[@gardeningmadeeasywiththeol3945]

Lovely apples and great preservation !

[@bluebirdhomestead]

thank you!

[@melindawargowsky8176]

If you have a pressure cooker, add peeled and chunked apples, lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon, if desired. Cook 8 min and use immersion blender or potato masher to desired consistency 😊 If you have scrubbed the apple thoroughly, the cores and peels can be used to make apple jelly or apple cider vinegar 😊

[@bluebirdhomestead]

I should have saved the cores to make apple cider vinegar!! I completely forgot about that. We go through a lot of apple cider vinegar so that would have been nice. I will have to use the pressure cooker next time! Apple season is almost here :) - Cara

It was fun watching. Been a long time since I’ve done this. We always got the redhot cinnamon candies and added them 😊

I would have never thought about adding red-hot cinnamon candies to the sauce, I bet that gives it a great kick :)

[@kariannecrysler640]
