Canning is apple pie fiing, apple syrup & apple butter. Think that will use up all my apples. If I find some more on sale I will make more apple stuff!
I've bunje corded dog food, groceries, bottles and all kinds of stuff to mine, boxes of canning jars would be easy... I even got a 15% discount at a meat market once for getting so much on my bike, that was a sight.

It's real easy just ask steph how to make appple jelly, it will be syrup... I used the first batch on pancakes it was quite thin and never did set up but it was soooooo good.
The apples will go in the crockpot tonight so apple butter can be made first thing in the am. As it is in the water bath I get the apple pie filling on the stove. I double everything in the recipe but the apples. After it cooks down I ladle the apples into the jars then I am left with lots of syrup base! Water it down to how we like it & now I have my apple syrup!!!!!
Apple syrup will be the teachers gifts this yr I think. It is SO yummy & since I cheat you find small pcs of apples in it too!!!! We eat it on ice cream & pancakes. The apple pie filling goes on pancakes & ice cram too-- and apple crisp, cobble, pie or even all by itself.
I can't get dh to strap jars down, but he did offer to go get my sisters car to get me more jars. I don't NEED the jars but since walmart marked them down I WANT them. Don't think anyone returns jars to me, but I do go to my sisters house & retrieve them a few times a yr. I don't expect to get jars back from others that I gift. But my sister usually ends up with a few cases worth of goodies each year. No complaints-- she will even buy ingredients so I can make an extra batch of relish, salsa or whatever for her house.

Kind of sounds like the opposite of my first batch of gravy. I had seen my mother make gravy for breakfast so I thought I could do it.
We had just gotten married so I thought I would surprise my wife. Did I Ever!
I believe we used what was left (most of it) as a front porch step. You could stick a knife it and it would just stand there.
Well I finally got it right and can whip up a mean batch of gravy now.

they are essential, we considered riding to a few of the auctions on occasion but decided that carrying a bird in a saddle bag might get us turned in.. I realy would not want to clean the bags after that either... That would be too much trouble, but I do tote everything on my bike that most would use a small car or even a truck for... Ever tied on 3 50lb bags of feed? and still put groceries in the saddle bags? I have to tell you some folks will look at you alittle odd.
