Coming Soon - Response to a comment on courtship...but first:

Apple Jelly! Lots of apple jelly!

Apple butter too.

27, 1/2pt jars of jelly - 18 plain and 9 cinnamon,

and 14, 4oz jars of apple butter.

But then...we had a lot of apple juice.

Two of the nearly three gallons of apple juice.

See - I told you it was a pretty pink color.

After boiling it down we still had almost a

gallon and a half of juice; enough for three

big batches of jelly.

The finished jelly.  This is the plain; the

cinnamon is just a bit darker.

I tried to get more light shining through the jar,

but every time I did the light around the jar

washed everything out. Still, you get

a rough idea of the unique color.
