this morning the roommates and i got up bright and early, piled in the car, and headed out to Oak Glen. it was a beautiful morning, and we had fun at parrish ranch and riley's farms, buying apples and cider and other various apple products. it was hard to get up early on a sunday, but when we got in the car to come home and it became unbelievably crowded, we were certain that early morning was definitely the way to go.
we got home around noon, and i set out to make a batch of apple butter. i figured it would be an easy task to head over to the grocery store and pick up a dozen canning jars and begin the job. apparently i was deluded into thinking it would be easy. canning jars are not that easy to find anymore. i went to the two closest grocery stores and target, and ended up having to drive out to WinCo to get them. once again, WinCo saved the day.
so i've spent the past four hours making eight half-pint jars of apple butter. it really isn't hard. just time consuming.
so who wants some?

um? what can brown do for me?
my parents are canning freaks. anything grown in their garden, or pulled from the ocean is bound to wind up pressurized in a glass vessel of some shape or size.
