The Apple Harvest

A friend of mine with a small farm up the road invited us to come and pick apples from some trees he found in an old long abandoned orchard on his property. We got so many we are still processing them but this is how we do it in these parts...

Get in the bucket

Ride up to the apples

Pick

Hope you dont fall

Ride home

The "fruits" of our labor and of course Rose the farm dog

And poof, canned apples in simple syrup

Apple Butter

And my favorite..curried apple chutney...mission accomplished
