Joy of the Harvest

This year we have a bumper crop of apples. Surprisingly, relatively few of them have worms in and we didn't even use insecticide! One of the reasons I like to grow my own fruits and vegetables is that I can do it organically.

I am grateful for the abundance that Heavenly Father has given me. I don't really like canning but I do enjoy seeing the containers of jam and bags of veggies in the freezer, dried fruit in the storage room and bottles of fruit on the pantry shelves.

  It's been years since I've made applesauce but with more apples than I  know what to do with, I decided to try again. My apple peeling and  slicing muscles are sore but there are bottles of fruit in the pantry...




 and joy in my heart!
