We have had a good year adn have been blessed with a good, large crop from our two fruit trees (Macintosh and Red Delicious). I have already canned 52 pints of sauce, a few crisps and some pies but have alot of apples still begging to be used. Currently, I am using an old freezer to make ice in milk bottles, then turn the freezer off and keep the apples in there with the ice but the temperature varies alot from 32 to 50 until I freeze more ice. The humidity is also very high inside the unit and the fruit is wet with moisture. Any recipes using lots of apples would also be appreciated. Fran Rusin, AT&T Bell Labs, Room 4B335, Holmdel, N.
