Homemade Applesauce - Chilled Cinnamon Hot Cherry

With my last place I lived over 6+ years having three apple trees, I have made a lot of applesauce. Cinnamon Red Hot applesauce is our favorite!

- 15-20 Apples
- 2 Boxes Hot Tamales Candy
- 1 can pitted cherries

The taste is mild sweet cinnamony applesauce with a hint of cherry flavor.

I cored and peeled the apples and they were crock pot cooked for 10 hours on low in 3 cups water. Do not stir, drain water off and put apples back in crock add 1 bag cinnamon red hot candies, or 2 bags ot tamales, drained cherries. Mash with plastic potato masher stirring as you mash. Simmer in crock 3 hours. Cool completely before putting in the fridge, or plastic containers for freezer.

This is excellent chilled!

Sprouting..

The seeds are coming up nicely.

I have never grown carrots, they are just crazy!
Small and super skinny.. they look so scrawny.. and I am scared they will all wilt any minute.

So like a little mommy, I check on all the seedlings every night, check the water and see how they are doing.

They are fine.

The Artichoke are a very sturdy seedling.

Mainly, my goal is to have the mini tomatoes really turn out, and the lupine as well. So my expectations are low, though very specific.

Crossing my fingers...(hoping they are green)
