We love our ebikes to help get around the property; they're fun and our go-to ride. We highly recommend Lectric and they have a ton of great ebike options for any kind of rider. Check them out with our link: https://mdsh.io/seasonalhomestead.
Recipes Used:
🍎 Cranberry applesauce recipe: https://www.theseasonalhomestead.com/...
🍎 Smoked apple butter- We loosely followed this recipe for guidance: https://www.motherearthnews.com/real-...
Here are our adjustments. This isn't a tested canning recipe so make at your own risk.
10lbs apples
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Process half pints or pints in a water bath canner for 15 minutes adjusting for altitude as needed. The only thing I would change in the apple butter is possibly adding a little apple cider and boiling that down with the apples for a more rich flavor. Other than that, it is delicious!

As the growing season winds down, we're finding new ways to make the most of everything we've harvested. This week, we're experimenting with smoked apple butter, making apple scrap vinegar, organizing our saved garden seeds for next year, and harvesting and storing cowpeas. It's all part of our ongoing effort to waste less, preserve more, and grow as much of our family's food as possible right here on our homestead.
