333 pounds of Apples = 261 pints of Applesauce

Returning from Italy, I was invited by the SLOW HARVEST folks to help turn 333 pounds of gleaned apples into 261 pints of yummy applesauce. We took over the Relish Cooking School Kitchen in Healdsburg and on THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR and peeled, chopped, cooked, and canned apples from 9:00 until 3:00. Everyone was in good spirits and we left knowing that all the jars would be going to the Food Bank and Food Pantry. Economic slides downward bring out the best in people who are willing band together. The spirit of both my grandmothers - who canned every summer - were on my shoulders all day.

September 16 we take on TOMATOES!!!!!!!!!!!

Stracciatella (chocolate chip gelato) is easily burned off one step at a time.
