Applesauce

The kids and I had a playdate with Amanda and her kids, Macy, Carter and Cayden this past Tuesday. We headed out there after Ivan's preschool. Had a pinic lunch (Thanks Amanda for the food!) then went off to pick apples. Well at Apple Works you can't pick the apples, but they had a petting zoo and a playground. So off we went.

While at the petting zoo Ivan got bit by the donkey. I couldn't believe it. It didn't bleed but you could see all of his teeth imprints. Poor Ivan. He handled it pretty well.

We then decided, "Ok, enough with the animals."

We headed off to the playground. There was a huge slide, a maze and some rope swings. The kids had a blast on the slide.

We then went inside the building to get some apples. I was wanting to make applesauce and apple pies. So I got a peck each of JonaMacs for the pies and Jonathons for the sauce.

I had no idea applesauce was so easy to make. And it seriously was the best applesauce I have ever had. I left the skins on for more fiber.

After $10 for the apples, 30 minutes cooking and 10 minutes pureeing we have applesauce.

I love the rose hue to it and the kids loved it too.

The trip tp orchard might have been a little traumatic, but the sauce is delicious!
