Well, honestly more than a few but here are the "few" that I wanted to share.
 |
| Only made it to Angle Orchard once. :( I waited to long and apples were gone and they closed. |
 |
| Dehydrated most, made apple butter and apple sauce. |
 |
| This is the second batch of Hatch Chili - last of the season. First batch 30lbs above 35-40. |
 |
| Canned pinto beans with chili and packaged dry the other 98lbs of pintos. |
|

So with the chili I cleaned and seeded the first batch - freezing and drying some. I also dried some open and they formed awesome hot chips! I'm still working on the 2nd - I'm dehydrating them whole with seeds, I did clean them and that was a job. I canned some and will see where we go with the rest. I definitely got short changed with the first batch and will not get them from that dude again! I don't believe it was a full 30 lbs.
I'm happy to report that even though I missed a second picking of Angle Orchard apples the owners give us a box that has a sample of their apples. Yippee! They also gave my dad a large box of discarded apples (excellent condition) for his chickens. He has trading a few of hens for apples - they're having chicken for Thanksgiving this year. :D
