We only had 3 hours this morning yet we were able to complete 21 pints of apple slices, plus 4 freeze drier trays of cinnamon apple slices and three freezer containers of excess apples. We are finally down to about 20 lbs of apples left in the house. We may have more apples out on the trees. Plus we are still waiting on the pears to mature.
