Canning Compote de Pommes on a Sunday Afternoon

Today's posting is involving a beautiful Compote de Pommes that I am currently canning in my home kitchen. I am planning on giving these to family and friends as holiday gifts. These apples were from a dwarf apple tree in our backyard which yielded a large amount this year. The aroma of apples cooking on the stove has made the whole house a little sweeter.
