My family doesn't mind it! I think removing the stem helps it go through the Squeezo better.<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-53021553841448487972014-10-06T14:58:41.693-04:002014-10-06T14:58:41.693-04:00Is it necessary to remove the stem and blossom end...Is it necessary to remove the stem and blossom ends of your apples before processing through a Squeezo?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-76962103790209429092013-07-27T08:02:31.427-04:002013-07-27T08:02:31.427-04:00I cook my apples on the stove, (add a little water...I cook my apples on the stove, (add a little water).

It sure cuts down on the work involved. I put newpapers down on the floor under my table and can usually just clean up any drips with a damp cloth. I'm glad your sister was able to come help you and that your back is doing better.beckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08671941080657552530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-53413555017709689982010-11-19T09:56:51.195-05:002010-11-19T09:56:51.195-05:00I can applesauce and apple butter and do not have ...I can applesauce and apple butter and do not have a food mill. I have one of the hand crank peeler/corer/slicers for apples. My husband usually takes care of that for me. I boil the apples until soft then I either use my blender or a hand stick blender to get the applesauce consistency. It's pretty simple. It's also nice because I can choose the consistency. My children prefer chunky applesauce.Kristie @ Me and My Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216392787065776606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-39580859463248468042010-10-30T02:18:08.187-04:002010-10-30T02:18:08.187-04:00I used a Squeezo food mill this year, but last yea...I used a Squeezo food mill this year, but last year I blended it in a blender, one little bit at a time (this takes forever!).Mrs. Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522714502210311748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-90261851975274906702010-10-21T11:10:32.928-04:002010-10-21T11:10:32.928-04:00We make ours outside close to the water hydrant.

But my friend does make chunky applesauce.<br /><br />Our church has a sharing list. Members list items that they are willing to loan (camping, canning, instruments, tools, crafting stuff, etc. etc.) and then we borrow from each other. Our household split the cost of a tile saw with another family and now we also loan the tile saw out to others. So yes, I do think sharing little-used or expensive tools is the way to go! That's what a community is for!Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-76262006873480241192010-10-20T17:11:19.430-04:002010-10-20T17:11:19.430-04:00The Squeezo is still sold for about 160.00.

I do lay towels on the floor and then just roll them up and my floors are not to bad. I suppose one could even tape them down if the wrinkles bother you. The first time I made applesauce as a married woman and not with my mom we used a foley food mill. It took forever and my husband had to do most of the work. We bought our strainer the next year, the cost is SO worth it! Expecially if you are doing a large amount. It's now 10 years old and still works great.Bekkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474646910738265256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-35191316963068577842010-10-20T16:28:55.816-04:002010-10-20T16:28:55.816-04:00Great idea about doing it outside!
