The intro really hit home, brings me back to pickin apples and berries with pawpaw

I'm just picking my apples now and this is my second year of applesauce. I love to put them in tiny jars and freeze them in the jars. Thaw a jar in the fridge overnight and add the applesauce to oatmeal or make muffins, etc. This time I will do the water bath canning. I am extremely lazy so instead of cutting each apple separately, I have a wonderful cheap metal disk that will core and slice the apple with one push down over the apple. They are in any dollar store with the kitchen tools. I use it when I want to just eat apple slices for a snack, but it is really handy for mass production when picking from my tree. Going to make some batches in the morning. I also like slicing the apples with the same corer-slicer, sprinkling them with brown sugar and cinnamon in a freezer bag, and then freezing the bags for apple pies or cakes. I usually peel those apples first. So glad you mentioned how your yield varies each year. I am a newbie with cherry, apple, and plum trees and some years I have so much yield that I get friends to pick once I have my fill. In other years there is practically nothing or very few. This year I did not get any cherries (seemed to not plump up even though it rained a lot and I have to beat the crows to the crop too), but the apples are plenty. Think the plums will be small although the apples are bigger this year. Strange. I did buy some fruit tree fertilizer spikes, so hope next year is good. So glad the fruit ripens at different months = cherries in July, apples in August, and plums last in Sept.

I had no idea that the peels would blend so nicely. Of all the canning I do, applesauce scares me the most because of the splattering. Weird, I know. As for sweetener, I like to put just a little maple syrup in and that makes it taste like apple pie. Brown sugar and honey are nice too. Thanks for sharing.

Don’t let it scare you. Control the splattering by adjusting your heat when cooking down the apples. Your suggested sweet additions would all be great tasting! We use pure cane sugar in ours and tend to add anything additional, if desired, when ready to eat it. We have our own raw honey supply from keeping bees, so not to destroy the beneficial properties of that with canning, we add the raw honey when ready to consume it. Thanks for watching!

Hi! I’ve never canned before, but am trying your method. Question, why do you remove the jar rings at the end?

Why we store our home canned goods without the bands/rings on the jars: 1. The rings are designed to keep the lid on during the processing and cooling phases of canning. Beyond that, they serve no purpose. The lids/seals are held on by suction, not the bands/rings. 2. If the bands/rings are left on the jars, this could result in a false seal, causing the contents to spoil. 3. Bands/rings eventually rust if left on the jars, making them quite difficult to remove. 4. It's a proper technique and a safety issue.

I was taught that way, so I'm not sure if this was something you forgot to do, or if it's something that you don't usually do. Thank you for your kind answer. All best, MF

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving

Жыл бұрын

Hello! We have been home canning for the past 26 years now. There were minimal air bubbles in the jarred applesauce (if any), therefore “debubbling” isn’t of concern nor a hindrance to successful canning. You’re right, it’s proper technique if you’re one to follow the recommended canning techniques. We do remove large bubbles if they occur in certain products, but not all. We’ve never had any problems by doing so. Usually when the contents are heated up during the canning process, settling occurs and resolves any minor bubbles that may be present. We appreciate your comment. Enjoy the rest of your week and upcoming weekend!

Question: so I made applesauce and followed your lead, all jars are sealed tight, been a week, but there’s like an inch of fluid at the bottom, applesauce is right to the rim, even though I left 1/2” space as directed, there’s little bubbles, but again, seal is sealed. I have a couple days off from work, should I redo it, using fresh new rims and bands? I did let it sit in bath water after the 20 mins for 10 minutes more w/o stove on. Thank you in advance💜

No need to reprocess, that won’t change anything if the lids are sealed. This can happen depending upon how much water you add for the desired consistency and/or how much sugar is added. It’s completely normal and does not affect anything. Shake the jars to blend and the sauce will fall down away from the lids. Good to go!

First of all, brown sugar is simply white sugar or unrefined cane sugar with added molasses (depending upon what kind you buy). It is not typically used when canning. It’s no healthier than other sugars, as sugar is sugar. As for using honey to sweeten the applesauce, we’ve not ever added it in the sauce before canning, as the heating process destroys everything good about raw honey. It can be used to sweeten when ready to eat it. Sugar does not have to be added and can be omitted if desired. As for the lemon juice, citric acid, or fruit fresh, it’s not added to each individual jar in this video. We simply use one of the options to prevent browning of the apples while preparing them for cooking. No specific amount is required, it’s based upon the amount of apples you use.

FAQ: What is the shelf-life of home-canned goods? As long as the lids/seals are intact to the jars and there is no evident content spoilage (discoloration, foam, froth, malodorous, or any other obvious signs), they are good for many months or years. "Looks good, smells good, is good". We have eaten our home-canned foods that are upwards of 10 years old from the original processing date. Obviously this isn’t ideal but it does happen from time to time. When in doubt, throw it out.

Do you sell and ship ?

No, as laws don’t allow. Simply sharing how to do this so others can too.

Use an apple corer.

You forgot to let people know to make sure that the lids pop and seal and how to know that they are sealed properly ty

We encourage folks to obtain a canning book which has basic canning principles such as how to know when the lids are sealed (Ball Blue Book). Lids are sealed to the jars when you cannot easily remove them. The middle of the lid is suctioned down & the lid has no give to it. Once the bands are removed, you can pick up the jar by the edges of the lid and it shouldn’t come off. Not all brands of metal canning lids “pop or ping”. Thanks for watching! We do not cover all canning basics in every canning video, but will take your suggestion into consideration for future use.

Question: can you do any berries like that?

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving

You can fill jars with clean raw berries, shaking gently while filling the jars. Add hot syrup to each jar leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Process jars in a water bath canner for 15 minutes (pints), 20 minutes (quarts). Adjust time as necessary for elevations >1,000 feet.

We only use Fruit Fresh produce protector or lemon juice to prevent browning of the apples, no specific amount. We’ve never added a specific amount of lemon juice for any other reason.

you dont peel them/ can i us apple juice

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving

No, we don’t peel the apples. These apples are from our own orchard trees and no spray/chemicals are used. I probably wouldn’t use the peels if you are using store bought apples. You could use apple juice if desired but it’s not necessary. It only adds expense and additional unhealthy calories. If you use apple juice, I would recommend omitting any additional sugar, ultimately up to you though. Blessings!

Remove the bands? I'm confused what those are

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving

10 ай бұрын

Why we store our home canned goods without the bands/rings on the jars: 1. The rings are designed to keep the lid on during the processing and cooling phases of canning. Beyond that, they serve no purpose. The lids/seals are held on by suction, not the bands/rings. 2. If the bands/rings are left on the jars, this could result in a false seal, causing the contents to spoil. 3. Bands/rings eventually rust if left on the jars, making them quite difficult to remove. 4. It's a proper technique and a safety issue.

The lids have the rubber seal on them, the bands are the part you screw on and off. I was confused which was which too🤩
