I made my first batch of applesauce for the year, yielding 14 pints! I used some of the earlier varieties of apples, which aren't as sweet as the later ones so I had to add some sugar to this batch. This time I used 2 pecks of apples -- 1/2 each of the following: Paula Red, Wealthy, Macintosh and Beacon (not quite a full peck of Beacon, since I kept some of those for eating).
I'm planning to do a second batch at the end of September when the sweeter varieties will be ready.
