apple butter

We made our apple butter Tuesday.  It turned out really good and the house smelled delicious all day.  Only thing was I didn’t time it out very well and since it takes 11-13 hours to cook I had to get up at midnight and again at 1 am to finish it.  But it was ready for breakfast Wednesday morning and Hudson and I had our share!

And our finished product for breakfast:   homemade apple butter, made with apples handpicked by us, homemade whole wheat biscuits, homemade apple juice, squeezed by our own hands (well, Chase’s hands) and scrambled eggs straight from Mimi’s chicken coop!
