Well I learned how to can a couple weeks back. It is really enjoyable to me! I also realized that you need about 50 million apples to make a very small amount of applesauce or apple butter. I actually canned 3 pint jars of apple butter and 3 pint jars of applesauce. The stuff is sooooo good! Totally delicious and WAY healthier than the stuff the store tries to pass off as edible. Mine has NO artificial ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup and actually very little sugar but it is really sweet and very yummy!
