Apple Sauce Canning
|
Use 3 to 3-1/2 lbs of apples per quart of applesauce desired. Rinse apples and place into a large saucepot with just enough water to cover apples and prevent sticking. Cook over medium heat until soft - do not boil. Quarter apples and run through tomato milling machine. Return to pan and bring to a boil. Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg or allspice as desired, or according to recipe. Ladle boiling hot applesauce into hot jars with just 1/2 inch of headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust two piece caps. Process jars for 20 minutes in a boiling water canner. 9. Taste to see how sweet the apples are. 10. You can also add cinnamon, nutmeg or allspice the last 5 minutes of cooking time. 11. Keep applesauce boiling and ladle hot sauce into hot jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. 12. Remove air bubbles and adjust two piece caps. 13. Process pints and quarts for 20 minutes in a boiling water canner. 14. Prep time is an estimate as it depends on how many quarts of sauce you are preparing.
