Heritage Acres Farm

A New Day...

Hello my friends!  I hope you had a great weekend. 
The picture above is one of the two baskets of apples we picked Friday.  A very sweet lady who lives a pasture over from us invited us to pick all the apples we wanted.  She said she hated for them to go to waste and I had made her a purse and she said this was a payment for it... boy, did I get it good!! WOOHOO! :)
I have a triple batch of crockpot apple butter in the roaster right now and it smells delicious.  I have to 'put it by' later this morning. I am also putting up a few more jars of tomatoes, pickling a few peppers, and dehydrating some apples too... and then probably making even more apple something! :D
I will post the apple butter recipe later on this week, as well as an awesome idea of what to do with all your leftover peelings and cores... well two ideas rather, one from me and another from a dear friend. :)
For those of you who are wondering, Shannon's arm is getting better.  The infection has went from all the way up and down his arm to much more localized and right around the area of the bite/sore.  So much better, and we PRAISE THE LORD! :)  Again, I want to thank you for the prayers! :)
My day has a lot in store and I must get going. 
God bless you all.
My Cup Runneth Over...

lovely fall

Hi Chas, what a lovely fall day to pick those beautiful apples. I'm looking forward to your apple butter recipe, if you have the time. Very happy to hear the infection is clearing up. I will continue to send up prayers for your dear family. As always, thanks for being here and the time it takes to share. God Bless, Cynthia

We did apple butter this weekend!

Thanks to your delicious recipe. Hubby never has me make it on the stovetop. He loves it when I put it all in the crockpot the night before and wakes up to a warm smelling home. Oh! He loves that! :D
