We did some selective apple preparation as well this week. <br /><br />I have had poor luck with cukes this year so it is nice to hear that other people are enjoying them.Ottawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656141040117705655.post-33539343525845174252010-08-18T12:36:16.309-07:002010-08-18T12:36:16.309-07:00Daphne, I have a cucumber bread recipe that is pre...Daphne, I have a cucumber bread recipe that is pretty good. My kids devour it so it must be ok. Here is the link http://www.frugal-gardener.com/2010/07/cucumber-bread-recipe.html. I have frozen some but am unsure how it is when thawed. I would assume similar to zucchini bread. Hope that helps with your cucumber issue!Frugal Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096304857458918748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656141040117705655.post-10329990547594715552010-08-17T14:35:35.595-07:002010-08-17T14:35:35.595-07:00Daphne, what a great problem to have!!

It's not too far off, and I would like to get a good recipe for it. No more feeling sorry for me??? Ahhh, I'm bummed!<br /><br />Frugal, You're welcome! Be sure to let me know how it turns out! The big thing that saved a bucketload of time for me was the Victorio. It would have been worth it to buy one with as many apples as we get each year.Dirt Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218959840456660541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656141040117705655.post-30789340616652806782010-08-16T21:29:25.542-07:002010-08-16T21:29:25.542-07:00Thank you for the link!

Thanks for the recipe....Frugal, You're welcome! Thanks for the recipe.<br />When I can applesauce, I only use apples, and a little water to get them started when they first are on the stove. The trees that we have that are the most productive are Fuji, and they are really sweet, so no sugar is needed. I did a post on making applesauce, here is the link: <br />http://beyonddirtmycreativejourney.blogspot.com/2009/11/apples-apples-apples.html<br />Let me know if you want any more info, I'd be happy to help!<br />~~LoriDirt Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218959840456660541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656141040117705655.post-47641617559230953042010-08-16T16:58:02.195-07:002010-08-16T16:58:02.195-07:00Lori thank you so much for mentioning me in this b...Lori thank you so much for mentioning me in this blog post! I am tickled and delighted that you liked the relish. I have made 3 batches already and am going to start more tonight.<br /><br />Do you have a recipe for your apple sauce? I have never canned it and would like to try this year.

Results: too much cranberry, not sweet enough, but that might be because there was too much cranberry, or the apples were the very first ones, I couldn't really tell. I will definitely do it again, but will be changing it a little. Hopefully soon. Will let you know!<br />~~LoriDirt Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218959840456660541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656141040117705655.post-62630286455889404812010-08-16T15:34:17.374-07:002010-08-16T15:34:17.374-07:00Hey is that the pie we were talking about?
