Default Weekend Project(s) Apple & Pear Butter

The freezers are all full--not complaining though.

I was gifted a box of d'anjou pears and a box of granny smith apples--
about a bushel each. Been eating a bit of both, gave some away but,
still have quite a few left to work with.

Got some purple onions given to me as well--going to make onion
'jam'. The recipe I'll use sounds more like a type of relish than a
jam but, it sounds like something that would go just great on turkey
burgers.

Then, shopping at the grocery store on Tuesday, I got 12 pounds of
honeycrisp apples for just under $3. Couldn't pass that up--works out
to about 25¢ a pound--even though I already have all this fruit to
already deal with. : - )

Got home from work tonight--me and my Hun Bun cut up the first batch
of honeycrisps and put them in the crockpot to cook down. I am off
work tomorrow so, I will be ringing in the new year making apple
butter and pear butter. Also, my niece and nephew gave me an
immersion blender--going to try that out...

And, if the weather turns a bit cooler, I'll make some more chicken
soup--with matzo balls.
