Applesauce

I'm feeling much better now.  The cold is all but gone, my stomach has returned to normalcy (thanks yogurt) and I spent an entire day just lounging around in my bed.  MUCH BETTER.

Now, I owe you applesauce.  I did make it the other night.  It took me quite some time to peel all those apples but it got done.  But wait, lets start from the beginning: Mr. Dan and I went apple picking about 2 weeks ago. We drove out to the valley and, keeping with Nova Scotian tradition, we picked apples for a few hours.  Now, we only picked about 10lbs of apples...but it was lovely!

Like my shoes? Me too, hot pink and silver/grey...niiiice

So Dan and I spent the afternoon wandering around the apple orchard, picking this apple

Or that apple...

And then, once we had accumulated 10lbs, or so, of apples we paid and hopped in the car to head home.  Now these apples sat for a bit once we got home.  Dan ate some, I ate some, but mostly they sat.  I wanted to make applesauce but had to find the time.  FINALLY, earlier this week I found the time!  So here is my delicious, simple, wonderful applesauce recipe...with pictures to make you crave it!  Enjoy!

Applesauce
1 lb cooking apples, peeled, and quartered
1/3 cup sugar (more if you like it sweet!)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Cut and peel your apples.

Place them in a pot, cover with water, add sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg - boil over low heat for 1-2 hours, until right consistency.  

Once your applesauce is at the right thickness place it in glass jar and viola! Enjoy!
