Apple Event

On this super cold (-15) degree start to the morning, I'm reminded of a warmer time when the apples were perfectly ripe, and we made it a family affair to collect them.  We are members of the Flying X Ranch in Wheatland, WY, and go there most of the summer for some of the funnest times we have as a family.  There are several apple tree on the huge acreage, and this year we all went to do some pickin'.

I got the short end of this stick, but my daughter had a blast!

We used anything we could to get all the good ones, 4-Wheeler included.

Good perk is getting to eat some of the prize!

I did get to have some fun too, and pick a few too high for the smaller people!

Quite the haul!  Great Day!

This load of apples made at least 3 batches of apple chips, which didn't last but 1-2 days, and 30+ jars of apple butter!

Do have some plum jam in the background too, plus some tomatillo salsa, both great recipes!

I will soon share the best apple butter recipe ever.

Stay warm
