Oh Kristin, you can send me those apples, applesauce, peaches, pears, and apple pie filling. I love fresh fruit and fresh canned fruit. Just send them on down, I will love them. And make your table topper for you.
Hoppy quilting!

Kristin, sorry about your quilting weekend but I sure do envy you having all that stuff to can. Just wish we had a little and wish I was a little closer and I definitely would take some apples off your hands. Oh well, too far. Hope you can get to quilting next weekend.

Boy Kristin what an accomplishment!! I have never canned anything either!! Hopefully next weekend you will have the chance to sew!!!

Ahem, if any fresh apple pies happen to show up in the office, no one here would turn them away!!! Since you're not sewing anyway.....

LInda you are too funny! I'll have my hubby read your post when he gets home from work, LOL! Good thing we don't have any archery sets laying around.

All the suggestions about taking the fruit to food banks are fabulous. Duh, I didn't even think of that! Next time...

Nanny Gayle, if I could, I'd be happy to give you my last bucket of apples!

Wow, very impressive! I have never canned or bottled anything in my 60 years. Sounds like a lot of hard work. Good for you.

I was going to mention the same thing that Pam/NY brought up. :) Local food banks would be pleased and very grateful to accept anything you have left over. And just think of all those people you will be helping!!

Does your local food bank accept fresh fruit donations?

Kristin, you should have taken some to your Mom and some to your neighbor and then over to the local orphanages. I would not have let them go to waistbut I would have shared them. I coud have taken a bucket or three off your hands.LOL

Isn't there a picture somewhere of someone with a bow and arrow pointed at an apple on a mans head where he is planning to split the apple in two pieces? If I were your husband, I'd be really careful about bringing in the next basket!!!!!! I love apples too but enough is enough already!! It is like zucchini. How many of those can you put up????? lolololol Seriously, you will enjoy your bounty and hard work this winter!!! Next weekend Kristin, next weekend!!
