Apple attack!

I've been experimenting with preserving foods this summer and fall. I've moved from freezing strawberries and blackberries,
strawberries
to canning dill pickles,
pickles
to ...
Apples!

I turned 10 pounds of apples into 6 half pints of apple butter, then another 20+ lbs became two batches of frozen pie filling, a 9x13 apple crisp, 6 pints of apple sauce, and another 1/2 dozen jelly jars of butter.
Mmmmmmm.
