I just love the smell of apples cooking!

I do my applesauce canning almost exactly like you, but a few yrs ago i discovered just quartering (not trimming cores, etc) and putting in my instant pot for 3 or 4 minutes on high pressure, then running them through my KA food mill. It makes really quick work of it. No waiting for boiling.

I really like the way you start your processing routine a very clean and prepped kitchen is so essential. Especially CLEAN!

Awesome deal on apples!!!🙌🏻 Agree 💯 the key is preparing everything ahead! Clean everything sinks counters jars tools and have everything set out and ready to rock & roll! Makes for a much easier enjoyable canning day! Doing a big batch of apple pie carrots I got in my food CoOp while watching! I love watching my favorite peeps canning while I’m canning so it feels almost like I’m working with a friend to get it all done! Love having applesauce on hand for muffins-cakes-baked oats-bbq sauce and just eating for a snack or warm with butter and cinnamon at breakfast 😋

Years ago i purchased a Squeezo food puree machine. Great investment! We would buy 15 bushels every year. Assembly line it with helpers and could do 4 or 5 bu in a day. Apple sauce, butter, pie slices and spicy mincemeat for our large family.

Did 5 bushel of peaches one summer day !!! Did them in quarts plus got to buy a new freezer upright one for the pies I made that time !!! Still have that upright freezer since 1977 !!! Am glad you had everything you needed there !!! I had a husband who peeled the peaches for me !!! So that helped me out a lot then !!! In that weekend bought more sugar & flour plus shortening for pie crusts !!!

I grew up in Appalachia Kentucky. Canning and preserving foods was a natural part of our lives. We did this every year all of my life. I am very skilled on how to can or preserve pretty much any type of fruit vegetable or meat that you can think of. Now if you want something really yummy go to the dollar store and buy some red hots candies. Put one package of those in with 2 quarts of your applesauce and cook on the lowest heat setting until the red hots melt. After they are all melted you will have 2 quarts of the most yummy applesauce ever.

Love this tutorial. Start to finish you are so thorough! And I thought I was lucky to get ONE bushel of apples!! The way you set up your different areas makes the process so much more efficient. I just pressure canned 14 quarts of chicken bone broth. Jars are waiting to be washed to go in the big pantry (used to be a spare bedroom) as we don’t have basements down here in this part of Texas. Question: when you use your pressure canner as a pressure cooker, do you lock the lid down or just set it on top? I’m not sure how to use mine as a cooker rather than a canner. Thanks for all the things you’ve taught me this year. Look forward to more from you in 2024.

Had to make a couple new dresses as 3 of mine were getting so frayed around the collar it looked like fringe. And I got out my old Addi King knitting machines to make hats for the unhoused (I was corrected when I said homeless. Not PC. 🙄 ). Together my daughter and I made 58 knit hats and it was a real pleasure giving them out. Sadly it wasn’t nearly enough. Plan to 😢double that this year-but it still won’t be enough. I am just now finishing a handknitted Dublin Town Hat for myself. Yup! For me. Gonna wear it to Sam’s and Costco tomorrow. I’m trying to get up enough nerve to try quilting a few place mats.

I use an immersion blender for my apple sauce because we don't mind the peels being mixed in. I'm wondering if you've ever made it that way?
