Apple Butter

October sunshine weak as a newborn kitten in the northern sky surrounded by gentle winds while stirring apple butter

Thanks. I haven't been to a stirring since my sister died. She and her husband made apple butter which they sold commercially. It was incredibly good.

Oooh! Thanks for the reminder, L M. I haven't had apple butter in a 'coon's age. I'm adding it right now to my shopping list for next time.

What a gem! The newborn kitten! But apple butter! I recently spent a whole morning trying to replicate my Grandmother's Pennsylvania Deutsch recipe. Came close, but something is still missing. Elizabeth

I'm sure you didn't miss the cinnamon, Elizabeth. Maybe a tisch of allspice?

A superb Tanka painted with Autumn colors and covered with... apple butter, my friend, Milton. Yummy! Be blessed!
