Labor Day Weekend

I got a 3 day holiday weekend, and man am I laboring! I did 15 more quarts of tomato juice, 3 more pints of Rotel, 11 quarts of apple pie filling, and 4 quarts of strawberry raspberry rhubarb pie filling. And I made dinner both nights lol. Before I went to bed last night, I started some apple butter in the slow cooker mode of my instapot. I got up at 5 to see my husband off to work and checked the apples and omg it smells good! Evie, the cat I rescued 2 years ago thinks so too.


So now I just gotta get the apple butter blended up with my immersion blender so I can can it in pint jars, then I can get this house cleaned up lol!

I have another pantry cabinet full that isn't shown in these pictures. I also saved the boxes some new jars came in and put full jars back in them and put them under certain furniture. Didn't wanna waste my harvest. Next year might not be so good. I think I'm gonna bake some biscuits for me and mom for breakfast so we can try out some apple butter while it's still warm.
Well back to work!

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I ran out of jars. Found out my brother had a whole barrel full so I went and got half of those. They were all quarts. I went to the store and bought more pints when I went to get the apples and apple cider. I'm so ready to be done with all this stuff.

Update: had to add more apples to the apple butter and some canning safe thickener, then steam it in the instapot to get rid of liquid. It turned out nice and thick and made 6 pints!
