apple butter kettle

We finally got our copper kettle for making applesauce and apple butter. It is really beautiful! The week we got the kettle, Diane had a bonfire at her place and so we decided we'd give it a whirl. It was awesome. Newspaper Dan was there, as were some other Tech grad students, and we had a really great time. The applesauce took about 4 hours to cook, and had the most incredible smokey aftertaste. It really was amazing.
