Pure,

Strain,

Smooth,

Climbing in the tree like many times 

before, tossing the apples down to 

Grandma, putting apples in the bucket 

again, throwing bad apples in the gator

Pure,

Strain,

Smooth,

Carrying apples into the 

House, putting apples in the water 

filled sink, Grandma barely trusting me, slicing 

apples, cutting out the bad spots

Pure,

Strain,

Smooth,

Putting apples in the hot 

slow cooker, Mashing apples 

until they are mushy, heating up 

the jars, scooping apples into jars

Pure,

Strain,

Smooth,

Scoop applesauce into

Bowl, put the applesauce into

the microwave, pile the ice cream

into the warm applesauce, pour the applesauce into your stomach

the same every year
