WHAT is your quest?
Depends on the day
WHAT does 3 a.m. have to do mason jars?
3 a.m. is how late I was up on Saturday nite, /Sunday morning
bottling applesauce and peaches.
We are harvesting apples and peaches and trying to keep up with them before they go bad.
It's a race! Hence, bottling sessions ending at 3 a.m.
These apples pictured above, are the best looking apples of the batch. We didn't spray our tree, so our apples were full of worms. There wasn't a single one that I didn't cut bad parts out of. It took forever! 
Sean loves applesauce! He was my big helper until it was time for bed.
It's actually kind of miraculous that I bottled any at all because Sean was sitting right next to the bowl of applesauce, like a vulture, licking spoons and fingers and anything else that got applesauce on it.
Wormy Granny Smith apples + water + sugar + Sean's germs = Gariety Homemade applesauce. Actually, truth be told, it's pretty good, despite the worms & germs
And after cutting up three huge bags of apples, I got seven quarts and 4 pints of applesauce. I'm still wondering if it's worth it. . . at least I can say that I'm learning a very useful provident living skill, right?
