Autumn = Apples

Does anyone else feel as if Autumn has arrived early this year, or is it just me? With the apples ripening fast on our trees and strong winds blowing them down we decided it was time to pick some before they all end up bruised and broken on the ground. 

That meant I had to get the apple peeling machine (it actually peels, slices and cores all in one go so brilliant for batch cooking) and my large pan out to make this year's batch of apple chutney using a recipe that my friend Carol gave me some years ago now. 

It takes a few days to do all the cooking and then put it all into jars and label up but this year's batch is now finished and looks like this.

The photo on the front of the label is actually me holding one of last year's beautiful apples. I use the website Jam Labelizer each year to make my labels. You can find them here:

Carol is hosting the challenge this fortnight at CD Sunday Plus.

Here is my card.   

The image is from a download set by Magik Graphics called  'An Unkindness of Ravens'. I printed this onto photographic paper and mounted it onto some holographic card. Just added a little happy birthday to finish it off.
