I didn't post a blog last night, too much fun having a sleepover with two of my grandchildren. Two are here tonight also but they are asleep now after a busy day of apple butter making. This year I decided that my grandchildren, at ages 12, 11, 10 and 9, were old enough to help with more than just gathering the apples from my old tree so I gave each of the three who could be here today a cutting board and knife and we started chopping apples. Of course I watched them carefully, not wanting any cut fingers, but they did very well.
We chopped enough apples for two big slow cooker batches of apple butter. The first one is almost finished as I write this and the house smells wonderfully of apples, cinnamon and cloves. Yummm.
Would you care to guess who was the only one of the four of us to cut her finger? Me, of course.
