The Social Event of the Year! Apple Butter!

The recipe calls for 3 1/2 bushels of apples

We used 2 varieties: Chesapeake and Black Twig

We started early in the morning - cutting and peeling the apples

Phil had a magic tool that sliced, cored and peeled the apples. We'll be getting more of those for next year!
