Fun fact: the day this video was shot, I was experimenting with dye on a couple shirts that were the wrong color. The dye instructions said to wear dishwashing gloves, and I did, but it still somehow soaked through staining my skin.
So purple fingers happened. Still a great recipe though.
Aw yay! Thank you! I was wondering if anyone would get a kick out of that!
Love this recipe. We’ve tried it will all sorts of apples too. Granny Smith is awesome.
