This is how Heidi helps us with our harvest canning...entertainment.
Addie was my official applesauce cranker...she put the cooked down apples through the sieve to get all the seeds and skins out.
Here's Addie with the fruits of our labors: lots of applesauce--the darker ones are cinnamon for eating plain or with pancakes' the lighter ones are plain applesauce, which we mostly use in baking. The sauce is made from the small greenish Transparent apples that grew on the trees in the garden area at the ranch. In a few weeks we will make pie filling and apple chips with the big crisp red ones that grow up on the hill.
Takine a break from cranking...
...Heidi loves to twirl (whirling drvish)
Sister Hug!
Here is the pizza we were making the other night when we talked to you, Gram & Gramp. One is BBQ chicken pizza with bell peppers and red onions and bbq sauce and low-fat cheddar cheese; the other is pepperoni with olives and mushrooms and mozzerella cheese. They were yummy!

1st- I love Heidi's dress.
2nd- I'm dying to be able to "can" fruits.
I bought a big flat of cherry's that came from a friend's family farm up near Kalispell and canned some cherry ice cream topping with it. The rest of the cherries were eaten or given to Page's visiting teachers. We have 12 jars sitting in the freezer. So if you need some cherry ice cream topping....
Oh, to be 3 and 6 again!
I love canning...even though it is sooo much work! I still have quite a few jars of applesauce from last year...I'm sure I'll be making some more here real soon.
You actually have stuff to can? I'm soo jealous!!
Gosh, those girls are cute! Way to go on the canning, Miss Pioneer Mom!
