Went to the orchard today to buy apples. Next weekend we will be making fresh apple cobblers for the apple festival benefiting the Missouri Baptist boys home. Figured while we were there we would get an extra bushel and put some fresh pies in the freezer for next year. Stopped at the store for some pie crusts and aluminum pans and put 6 fresh pies in the freezer ready for the oven. May need one more session to last the year. Wished I had taken the time to buy some fresh peaches this spring.
What variety of apples did you buy?
Johngolds. Johnathan golden delicious cross.
Nice, we raise about 15 varieties, I always like to see what others like.
Made two fresh picked peach pies today.
We're fixin' to cook 30 gallons of REAL apple butter Oct. 2-3 over an open fire in a copper kettle. The way my grandparents did it on their farm each fall.
30 gallons, that a lot of apple peeling Mike.Quote:

It is, 10 bushels. But we have relatives and friends who help.Quote:
