I think it's wonderful when kids learn where real food comes from; that is, when they engage in projects of picking and home-processing produce. I therefore enjoyed seeing the facebook blog from my niece, Michelle Chung, where her children visited an orchard, picked apples and made applesauce at home. And when I read the following excerpt from Michelle's post, I know the lessons learned here will be life-long and invaluable to this child:
Today, Morgan was my helper and did everything from washing apples, pressing them in the Sauce Master and ladling the hot jars.

Doesn't Erik look hilarious in the first picture?
ReplyDeleteSo heavy-laden with the task of apple picking! Yeah,right. He had a blast running up and down the orchard picking low fruit!
Thanks for the post.
