Apple butter...or is it apple sugar??

This weekend was a new experience for me...although I have heard my grandmother talk about it for years I never actually experienced the making of apple butter at Marvin Chapel in Mt. Airy, MD. My mom and Aunt Denise came up to visit and we made the trip to Maryland for the annual event with Granny, many other relatives and church friends.

I don't know who came up with the name apple "butter" because based on the ingredients it clearly is apple "sugar" - take a look:

During the weekend we also were able to attend the Catoctin Color Fest which is right in my cousin Becky's back (and front) yard! I took lots of photos and posted them on http://www.madilun.com/ so check them out!
