How wonderful Michele! I'm lucky to have a couple jars left from last year - we also had a late frost so no fruit on any of our trees this year :(

Grace I see grape juice and jam in your pantry! We had enough apples, but not an over abundance. At least I don't have to spend lots of time picking up windfalls.

Oh Michele, you lucky ducky!
Our Apple tree did Bupkis this year (as did our walnut and cherry trees)..we had horrendous winds that blew most of the blossoms off and what remained, got frost damage due to an unexpected freeze!.. So what did we do? why we planted 6 more trees!
So fingers crossed for next year!
On the plus side, we once again got a bumper crop of grapes and tomatoes... so not all is lost...
I am vicariously sipping apple cider through your pictures!

We got a good supply for all of us. The grandkids really enjoy the process. They are big enough to really be a big help too.
