A Fruit Picking, Processing Type Weekend
 |
| Matt picking at one of the six trees we ended up pick from. These were possibly the nicest apples of the weekend. |
 |
| They also had a plum tree just laden with fruit. |
 |
| A basketful of tomatoes from the garden got transformed into sauce since Matt had all the canning supplies out already. |
 |
| I think it is quite ingenious how out apple peeler and slicer works. I really like the look of these spiraled apples. They are fun. Like the slinky of fruit. |
 |
| Naturally I would choose to take a photo of a bruise apple.....oh well. This device make making apple pie filling easy and enjoyable. It is my favorite canning task. |
 |
| Matt is the master canner at our house. I love him in an apron. Especially a bird apron! |
Nice haul! Oh, I love a man in an apron...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your good taste in men, Beth.
Will you share with me the brand apple slicer you are using and the model#? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt is a Back to Basics Peel Away Apple Peeler (with a clamp base). From what I gather the new models don't have a clamp base but rather a suction cup. I don't know which would be superior, but the clamp works for us. We picked up the contraption at a yard sale last year. I don't think it had even been used.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks, I think he's a pretty good one! Even better is a man in an apron your mother made. Awwww...... He is so swell.
Have a great day!
Thanks. I think I would prefer a clamp. I made my sil an apron. I don't think he ever wore it. However, he did request other clothing that he wore on the street.
ReplyDeleteI didn't tell Matt I posted a photo of him in an apron for all the world to see! : )
ReplyDeleteEh, he won't care.
I've never made an apron, but it is on my to-do list for this winter.
