CANNING APPLE SAUCE 

Thank you for demonstrating how to operate the food mill and clear out the blockage and use the canning pot with the rings for the size jars you were using. God has gifted you with teaching (& video making/editing); thank you for your videos!

You can also put a dish towel in the bottom of your canner to keep you jars off direct heat, because its wet it wont burn.

Good morning. I doubt you will see this comment but I have to tell you... I have discovered your channel a couple of months ago and you are the best teacher on youtube. I'm a school teacher and we all know that some have it easier than others. You are gifted. Maybe beacuse of the way you where raised maybe it's just you but one way or the other...I love your simple direct explanation. Thanks you! ( I apologize for the mistakes English is my second language)

You are such a great teacher! I learn so much watching you channel.

Mrs RuthAnn, you've solved my mill operation problem!! I didn't know you were supposed to go backwards to scrape 🙈

My first canning adventure was making apple sauce with my mom in my 40s, just before she passed away in 2019. I've since been canning all sorts of stuff including my new pressure canner. She was farm girl from Nebraska and a wealth of knowledge that I took for granted until she was gone. I love all your videos that remind of her and her many talents. I just fiished salsa and tomato sauce last week, I'm going to pull out my roaster and make apple sauce out of two 5 gallon buckets of apples I was given this week. Thank you for all your videos 😃

You are one busy lady, like the other homesteaders. My mother used to Can, but I was little & did not pay Attention., thanks for the share 8-28-2023👍🏽👍🏽❤️. I like Applesauce sometimes

I like using applesauce for substituting for half the sugar and oil in baking.😋 And of course, for just eating on its own! Great taste and nutrition.👌Love your canning ring idea!

Oh my gosh I’m so glad you said you’d left it over night. I started earlier today to make sauce out of my Asian pears but I just don’t have the energy to finish tonight. I’ll turn it way down and finish in the morning. I so appreciate your tips and tutorials

So it's June and getting warm where I'm from.. I find myself watching your canning videos that are closer to fall.. lol I must be wanting cooler weather. Good job on the applesauce.

Thank you so much for your easy to follow recipes. You are a very gracious lady and I would take skills over education any day!

You are awesome! And a wonderful example to all of us.

i look forward to watching you on saturdays w/my coffee.i love everything about your channel. thanks for sharing! 🧡🤎💛❤

Love your videos. Such a good hearted and blessed woman.

My great great grandmother used to make an apple sauce cake out of her fresh apple sauce that was so delicious..sure miss the old days..

Thank you and God bless you and your family! I gain a lot of knowledge from your videos!

So interesting to know you don't need to cover the ring and the lid! I use the presto pressure canner to also water bath and sometimes find that by the end the water has evaporated/splashed out some and the jars aren't totally covered anymore. They've always sealed fine and I don't worry about it much, but this adds to the peace of mind!

Thanks for this great tutorial! I like your tool that removes the skin and seeds from the applesauce!

I just love watching your videos! They are so relaxing and helpful! I need to get a food mill for next year.

You shared a lot of helpful tips. Thank you

Had to watch your video again, I’m about to can for the very first time and wanted to make sure I was doing to right. Thank you.🎉 Here’s hoping it comes out good😂

Great tutorial on canning applesauce; thanks for sharing! I love applesauce & freeze a lot of mine but have canned some this year to save freezer space. Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦

Thank you, Ruthann! God bless you!

I have so much to learn! This was great!!! I am excited to give this a try. ♥️

Have two roosters, one I use for meats such as chicken, roast, etc. the other I use strictly for canning fruits. I bought my second roaster at a thrift store also for $10 and it looked like it had never been used. The thrift store roaster is probably 50 years old and works like a charm. Thank you for all the information you have helped me with all my canning needs.

Thank you so much! Just started watching tonight, a year later! You’re so sweet and have wonderful teaching skills. Appreciate you. Do you have a video on canning apple slices? Also, apple pie filling? Thank you 🌺

I just made some with your recipe. So simple. Thank you.

Thanks again for the good instructions. I made applesauce last month for the first time. I sweetened the batch with some maple syrup. Didn't know that you can make without. LOL Will remember that for next year. The farmer suggested Zestar apples for applesauce and they were good.

I love the mill. I have used it for over 40 years. Then last year I cut out the cores of the apples then cook the apples down. The pulp I then stick blend until a puree. So easy.

Hi RuthAnn. I just discovered your channel and expect to learn a LOT from you. I have actually been canning for years, but the extent of my canning has included tomato products, pickles, relish, green beans, and vegetable soup. As others have said, you are a wonderful teacher. I do have a question: I tried using my 17-quart Rival roasting pan to cook the apples and found that even though I used plenty of water, 350 was too high a temperature - some of the apples started scorching. I pulled out the few that started to scorch and turned down the heat to 225 which seems to be working. I am stirring them often. I was so excited to use my roasting pan because there is only room for one big pot on my stove. I wonder if the smaller size of roaster makes a difference. If you have any advice, I would welcome it.

Thanks for sharing, I’m learning a lot from you thanks .

Working on all sorts of peppers while watching your video.😊your roaster looks about like mine😂lots of use! I always make apple cider vinegar with all the peels. Sometimes the goats and chickens get them . Love your channel and once again thank you for all you share.

Great video! Once again I’ve learned something new! Thank you Ruth Ann!😊Regina

I can’t find the recipe. Love all your videos. We need a cookbook from you

Such an enjoyable video!

I know u will not see this but I learn so much from u ! I did your salsa beats tomatoes! AMD the easy way ! Thank u ! Never used a book ! AMD oh your hamburger buns wow wow !

Look forward to your Saturday morning videos! Thanks

I would love to see a tour of your pantry and freezers. Also, do you have a link for that food mill?

Thanks for confirming to me that I can open kettle my applesauce! I did it that way last year but kind of doubted myself. Last year I bought a food mill attachment for our small meat grinder and it made the sauce-making process go so much faster. We have about 10 apple trees so anything that helps make sauce-making quicker is helpful. We do like to make cider as well, but need to find a bigger apple crusher and press.

I know this is an old video, so you might not see my question, but do you add lemon juice? A lot of other recipes call for it, and just wondering if it was complete necessary or not, since I would rather not if I don't need to. Thanks!

Thanks for showing how to make applesauce. I've made apple butter years ago. Don't think I'm gonna get any apples this year, squirrels carrying them away as fast as they grow.

I use a Sause Master food strainer by Norpro . Hand operated. Separates skins and seeds out. You can do big batches faster.

Cute boys and puppies! Have you ever seen a Victorio strainer? They are a similar concept, but they can do a lot more and way faster. I have a Foley food mill, but I get frustrated at how long it takes.

Ooooh.. I need to make applesauce now! Thanks! Also. Out of curiosity. If you needed to pressure cook those big jars (or any jars) would it still be ok to use the rings at the bottom of the pot to make more room? New to canning and wasn’t sure if it would be different . Thanks!

I don't can in 2 quart jars anymore but I use the rack that comes with the PC to put in the bottom of the water bath canner for pints or pint and a half jars.

I wish I still had my collider. I guess I’ll have to buy another one.

Thanks for sharing.

Looks good

When you cut the apples up, set a large amount of peelings aside and make your own homemade apple cider vinegar

I didn’t know you could can in 1/2 gallon jars. Thank you so much! Would it be okay to can tomato sauce in 1/2 gallon too?

I bet your house smelled so good!!!!

Do you have a complete recipe for your apple sauce? im not sure how much water to add to mine or howlong to cook them

Do you use any lemon juice?

Thank you

Hello, I just found you today. I haven't canned. 20 minutes... at a rolling boil? Thank you

What type of editing software you use to edit your videos?

Do you ever save your peel & cores to make anything with them ?

If the peels were left on to cook (but cut off the core) do you actually have to food mill the peels out or could I just blend them as I do when we eat it fresh? What I am asking is if the peels affect the safety of the canned apple sauce.

I didn't add lemon juice, will it still be ok? I used a test strip and it came up between 3 and 4, good?

Wish I could come help you! Lol

Thanks for showing canning in 1/2 gallon jars. I know that the old timers canned in even gallon jars. And we are told we can't do that. Do you have a video on canning tomatoes in 1/2 gallon jars?

I thought you had to add lemon juice. And also, if you add sugar, can you add brown sugar or honey and would that change the canning process?

Good morning is there a need to add any lemon juice for acidity?

What apples do you find to be best for applesauce? Pie filling?

My family likes chunky applesauce. How would you keep it chunky? Would you cook some chopped up apples in a separate pot and mix together?

So you don't have to put lemon juice in your sauce?

I don’t have a food mill (it’s added to the list!) I’m currently cooking the apples down in a Dutch oven in the oven, do you have a suggestion on what to use instead of a food mill?

So are acidic enough you dont have to add lemon juice or anything to them?

I always thought the apple seeds are poisonous. Does cooking change that?

😊

Do you put lemon juice in them?

Do you make plum sauce the same way?

Do you add lemon juice to your applesauce?

Question: I canned apple sauce for the 1st time. I left the headspace on the neck but during processing most of my jars Applesauce expanded up to the bottom of the lid. They appear to be sealed. Is it normal to have your apple sauce expand all the way up during processing?

At do you use your Apple sauce on or in

How long would you personally water bath pints of applesauce?

Other sites recipes call for adding lemon juice for PH

I have to buy apples (unfortunately). What kind is best

What type of apples do you use?

Do you have a link for the food mill?

If you are using store purchased apples, how do you get the herbicides and pesticides off?

Use your pressure cooker insert

What is open kettle process?❤

I can’t find the link for the food mill please

Hi Ruth or anyone who knows by experience, looking for a " best " way to store apples outside of fridge in a cool basement? Crate?,cardboard box??

If I am using 1 quart jars can I do 10 or 15 minutes?

Bei uns sagt man "Flotte Lotte" zu dem Gerät wo du die Äpfel rein tust.

I tried water bath canning my pickles with hot water up to cover the product.. it the 1” over the jar. 2 of my lids warped. Has that happened to Anyone else. Any suggestions. I’ve never had a lid warp before.

Ive never seen 2 quart jars
