I love having a whole Saturday with nowhere to go so I can putter around the house doing this and that and getting lots of projects done. This was one of those weekends.
I have an abundance of tomatoes so one thing I wanted to do was get some tomato sauce made and in the freezer. I loosely use this recipe from SouleMama as a starting point. Having homemade tomato sauce is such a great thing in the winter when good tomatoes are few and far between. We used some of the sauce for make-your-own pizza night yesterday and it was perfect.

I also made crock pot apple butter. I LOVE apple butter on biscuits. When I found apples for sale at a steal at the grocery I bought tons of them and made my apple butter. I found this recipe several years ago and have used it over and over. So simple: 12 cups of peeled, cored and chopped apples, 5 cups of sugar, 2 teas. cinammon, 2 teas. cloves or nutmeg. Put it all in the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours. Remove lid and cook another hour. You can keep it a little chunky by just putting it in jars at this point but I use my stick mixer to puree it and make it truly the consistancy of butter.
