That’s three apples ;-)
I have canned for years, and if you want to can your tomatoes you must use bottled lemon juice or bottled citric acid (found with all the canning supplies). Tomatoes vary in their acidity, and are treated as borderline. Although I’ve pressure canned tomatoes in the past, they are just fine in a water bath. For added safety, things like canned tomatoes or green beans should be boiled prior to consuming. Get yourself the Ball Blue Book. It’s a great tool for both new and experienced canners.

Well those other two are pretty good...
Do you have a preferred recipe? The one I got off a German site last year was too dry.
I adore hearty autumn food, the slow cooking, the way the house smells.
This stuff is made with pure flavors and tastes like Granny Smith apples.
You can find it on the interwebs or in Mexican markets
I don’t care for Apple cider, but those little Apple cups w/ cinnamon strikers are so darn cute!

I kind of wing it and add apple sauce for moisture and I like to decorate the apple on top with sour cream.
Moist, tart sweet savory
You could just serve apple sauce in them. Kids would love the novelty, and then they’d eat the cup.

Experiment, I usually look at a pile of recipes, dissect them and shove them all together in a shuffle to my liking.
Like I said I tend to wing it.
You know what I loved as a kid?
Core an apple, stuff it with butter sugar and cinnamon wrap it in foil and toss it in the autumn fire.
How simple is that?
Loved Cider and cake donuts hayrides..
Cowbells ringing at autumn football games..
My Mother is still the block bonfire Queen LOL
I’m up for trying the apple fritters. Reading the reviews as I cook dinner right now, I see that people changed them up a million ways. Which way did you make them, Jamie? May I call you Jamie? Lol. Exactly as written, with glaze, etc?
Part of the fun of Harvest is the making of things.
Simple and fresh is so good, even if it takes prep, bread butter, apple pie filling, hobo pie iron, fire, autumn night..
It’s amazing how inspiring Autumn is - even though Nature seems to be ‘dying’. I don’t know if it’s just because we know the holidays are coming; or just recognition of the importance of ‘cycles’; or just because the air gets cooler and fresher, after the long Summer.
It’s really a wonderful time of year almost everywhere; and I was discussing it with a co-worker today, when we decided that it’s really the most pleasant weather we get, here in DC.

We’ve been making blackberry cobbler, getting the last of the blackberry season. But apple cobbler would be yummy too. And kids love the plopping part! Scoop up a tiny handful of dough and throw it in, get another, keep plopping, fun fun fun.
Use a more delicate apple than Granny Smith for Apple fritters.
I think we used Wyandot, it needs to get soft fast in a fritter.
Corn fritters are also popular at end of harvest
Bringing children into the ritual of life is very important.
We all enjoy the meal better when we are all involved.
