Holly Homeaker
Thats right! I have a new name for myself after Tuesdays canning project. Earlier this year I had a ton of peaches so I made fruit leather (roll-ups) and YUM they are soo good. We still have tons left in the freezer to last us the winter. Monday night a neighbor brought over a huge box of apples and suggested I make applesauce. I had never done that before but it sounded fun...and I needed something to do after work, to avoid cleaning. Apparently all the thrifty Utah Moms can, because I couldn't find ANY of the supplies I needed anywhere. Finally I found some quart size jars and borrowed a water-bath canner and a strainer from my friend, and got to work. It was actually a lot of fun and I now want to become a full time canner! You should have seen the mess in my kitchen though. Holy COW! It was bad. I didn't get finished until about 10 pm and I was too tired to clean up. I had to work the next morning and when I came up to the kitchen Brian had it sparkling clean for me. What a guy! Anyway...if you have never canned before, I suggest you give it a try! It is fun and made me feel like a real homemaker! I remember canning with my Mom every year...but I guess I never paid much attention though...because this felt totally new to me. The kids are LOVING the applesauce! It was one of those rare days where you feel a great sense of accomplishment!

WOW... I am totally impressed. You are so patient. I think I would have dropped every swear word in the book having to deal with all of those apples. Way to go! xoxo
Impressive! The applesauce looks so pretty.
Though I have a thing with birds (ever since I pulled a dead one out of the dryer vent tubing) so your kitchen border is giving me the shivers. lol.
Good job Holly! I like to play Holly Homemaker this time of year too. I just finished canning peaches and making a ton of peach raspberry jam. I even canned some raspberry pie filling. My friend talked me into it cause she has tons of raspberries. I haven't been brave enough to try applesauce but I should since apples are cheap here. Maybe I'll get some next week at farmer's market....
I'm glad your kids like it! Love the action shots!!
Now I don't think I could do that. What a woman!!!
Impressive! You're quite the homemaker and I love your new title. I love homemade applesauce. I want some yummy apples straight from the orchard- hard to find here in the city. Your fruit leather/roll-ups sound really good too.
Holly I hate to break the news to you but... if you like canning you must have some of GMa A's genes in you!! You know Tree Top makes a really good applesauce in nice, neat little one portion containers! J/K I'm sure yours tastes much better!!! Holly Homemaker. I like the sound of it.
Good Job Holly, only when do we get a taste! I think its fun to do projects like that, I just never do it!
I was glad to read that you remember canning with me, its been so long since I have, I almost forgot. Good for you, its ALOT of work, but a satisfying feeling after its all done.
P.S. The worst part is the cleaning up, Brian needs an extra kiss for that!
I remember canning grape juice and peaches. I could go for some of that right now. Way to go sister, you're a proper Mormon Wife/Mother now.
mom your ass is really hot do you enjoy analsex?
