It is apple season back home, brings back memories - 1979:
My neighbor and I had our babies two days apart, and when
they were old enough to start eating, she took me to the local cannery and we
made applesauce for the babies. Fresh apples, cut in half, cutting out only the
blossom end (cause that's where the poison is) - leaving the seeds and peelings
(cause that's where the vitamins are). We dumped them into the huge sinks at
the cannery to wash them, they were then put into huge vats to cook, and run
through a grinder. Then into the jars and to the processor. If we hadn't
brought our own jars, we could have bought tin cans for the same purpose. Our
babies ate the prettiest pink applesauce (color from the red peelings).
Thanks Imogene for the memories!
