I started cooking the apple butter last week but did not have time or energy to finish it and can it. I just stored it in the refrigerator.
I cooked it down a bit more, and I am bringing my waterbath canner up to boiling so I can put it all in jars and seal it. It is not a lot but it will be about 5 pints for a total cost of under $4.00.
My house smells of pie spice blend, and it makes me hungry. This spread is perfectly sweet and I added no sugar at all to it.
It will be a good side with several things we have to eat.
I am also thawing some containers of home made beans, and lentils, that I prepared last fall or winter. Cleaning out the freezer.
Hubby wanted a ham and we had a coupon. Yesterday he removed it in slices from the bone. That will be a part of our "go to" meals this weekend. Yummy.
I have batter for pancakes made up. I used ripe bananas in it and that will be yummy for us to enjoy for breakfasts.

You have a lot of food items on the go there. I'm just thawing more banana cake. I still have frozen bananas to use up some other time.
