I make carbon dioxide. Can I post a picture of that?

Sure post a pic of the apple sauce. I like mine with a bit of chunk to it, not that pureed old folks home stuff.

I think a photo of your carbon dioxide would be OK. Menthane, on the other hand, not so great. Jim S

How did you get it to hold so still....
I usually make mine a little chunky....It's a lot better than Motts.

A fast shutter speed is important, but it's still really hard to stop motion at the molecular level. Proper focus was a challenge too (given that I couldn't see the CO2). Another difficulty is getting the camera to save the picture in the right format. RAW and JPEG don't support "transparent", so I had convert the image to GIF before saving.

Some people have WAY to much free time!!! :biggrin:

I'd see water vapor, not carbon dioxide (unless it was really, really cold). :biggrin:
It's not the first time someone has said that about one of my posts. I suspect that's a telling point. :biggrin:
But some of us are old.............:biggrin:

My Grandma made really good apple sauce. She had her apple sauce tree. No one knew what kind of apple it was and it tasted like crap raw but made the BEST apple sauce. I remember her describing pureed apple sauce as old folks home sauce. It stuck with me as funny.

I made a batch from my Mom's old recipe, chunky style. Gave some to the Grandkids at Thanksgiving now the store bought stuff is no good. Next month when we go to Idaho to visit that bunch I will bring some we canned and then next fall when the apple harvest is on in the foot hells east of Sacramento I will stock up on apples and make a big batch.l Love it with Pork Chops. The also fell in love with their Great Grandmas (MIL) Yooper Pasty My wife and her sister are trying to learn how to make them properly while their mother is still able the help them. After that is ordering direct from the Upper Peninsula.

When we lived on our vest-pocket farm we had some really old apple trees and we got far more apples than one family could ever eat so we made cider and apple sauce. The apple sauce we cooked the apples just like the came off the tree and we put them through a colander - it was canned and eaten all year long, and the cider we mostly gave away while it was still apple juice. We didn't let it get hard but we saved a couple of gallons each year to let go to cider vinegar.
My mother was more prone to making apple pies and apple butter with fresh apples. She made sauce now and then but both she and my dad were lovers of apple butter.
I peel the apples and use a masher so it can be as smooth or as chunky as the apples will bear....some you can't make lumpy and some you can't really make smooth.

I tried turning apple sauce once, don't think I'll try it again, wait, what was the question?

Why not, it turns into a pretty good apple cake, it turns unsweetened cerial into a breakfast delight and turns ice cream into a right good sundae.

Did you save the peelings to make apple jelly?? I lived in Sunnyvale, CA a year or so after my divorce, I had a back yard full of fruit trees... orange, lemon, grapes, plums and an apple tree that had been grafted to have red apples on one side and yellow on the other. The oranges and lemons all tasted the same... kinda sweet orangy lemons, sour lemony oranges, but the apple tree made great apple butter, apple sauce and apple peel jelly. I was a single dad in those days raising my son and a lot more inclined to do things in the kitchen than now that I'm married to a much better cook than I ever was.
We used to make jelly but neither of us is into jelly so we don't make any at all except during strawberry season we sometimes make a small batch of strawberry jam.
OK - eat your hearts out (you might as well because I'm not sharing my apple sauce.:biggrin:
