We'll have to do that when we run out! The last container of apple sauce is still in the fridge, just a tad left, maybe neither one of us wants to be the one to eat the last of last year's crop. Apples look good this year...that one tree grew three apples out of a dozen or so blossoms it had but in years to come we'll see more from it.
Doesn't look like the plum tree has any plums this year, either. Wasn't wearing my glasses though so maybe. Here's a pic of the garden last week and one from today, after pulling the tomato plants and wire cages. The onions were on the nearest edge and there's a bag hanging under the canopy roof, felt like about 20 pounds of white, purple & yellow. There's carrots, cukes, yellow squash left out there, some lettuce and spinach. Seems strange for the garden to be winding down before first frost. We picked a pile of yellow and green beans from three rows...the garden is only, what, maybe 25' wide? I forget how many beans we've gotten, been eating beans since about the start of August, same with the tomatoes and cukes, lettuce. Onions even longer.
A few pictures:

be great if all those green cherry tomatoes ripened. i've heard of people putting them in a brown paper bag, tomatoes. when i put green tomatoes on the shelf, the "dark" side of the tomato ripens first and then i turn it around so the side that had been exposed to the most light, still not as red as the "dark" side, ripens too. might try the paper-bag trick with the green cherry. green tomato pickles in the pot...yummy! they go especially well with spaghetti, but i had some tonight with a chicken sub from subway. guy making the sandwiches and the salad for my wife did an outstanding job...wife commented on how good everything was, too. nice when people take pride in their work.
have a super weekend, everyone!
