It's Monday morning and my usual time to call Mom Lillian, catch up on our weekend news and receive communion together. We have an extra-long visit this morning while my apples bake in a slow oven. (The goal is to get them really mushy so I can put them through my cranking strainer and make homemade applesauce, which we love!). After our phone visit is through, I open the oven door to see how my apples have progressed. WHAT A SIGHT!!! The apples in both roasters have been happily cooking over for some time. There is cooked apple on the bottom of the oven (not the whole bottom, but probably a third of it), hanging from the roaster lids and on the sides of the oven racks!! Obviously, the apples are done!
I laughed--what else was there to do. You'd think I'd never done hundreds of quarts of applesauce in my life before. One good thing is that the oven was only on 300 degrees, so the apples were not burned to the bottom of the stove, just sticking in some places. I NOW HAVE A CLEAN OVEN!! And the batch that's cooking in there right now is doing so at a bit lower temp. So much for years of practice in the kitchen!!!
