The leaves are turning now, almost two weeks late and the colors while bright are not the usual flaming orange red and yellow.

But, it was a spectacular year for peaches and apples, more than any in my memory. We were loaded down with peaches until early September and the last of the apples were picked yesterday.

I made enough apple sauce for most of the winter and froze about 25 containers as well as three gallons of cider.

Pam over in Millbrook gave me the recipe easy and perfect, core em, leave peels on add lemon juice and cinnamon, cook em slow and then mush em and there you are, no sugar or other things and it comes out perfect. And I can’t boil water!
