time to go outside (and make some apple butter).

I was able to squeeze in a little outdoors time over the weekend - we've had some nice weather so it was time to enjoy it!  Today I have a bit of sock knitting in mind, as well as canning some apple butter (I saw a great deal on apples at the grocery store this week!).  I'm looking forward to breaking out my big canning pot and getting to work... I may make some pear chutney,too, we'll see how ambitious I get!

I've mentioned it before, but one of my favorite books for canning is this one and I have a vintage BHG canning recipe book that I use, too.  Do any of you have favorite canning recipes?  I'd love to hear about them!
