Altitude Adjustments for Water Bath Canning:
1,001 to 3,000 feet, increase processing time by 5 minutes.
3,001 to 6,000 feet, increase processing time by 10 minutes.
6,001 to 8,000 feet, increase processing time by 15 minutes.
8,001 to 10,000 feet, increase processing time by 20 minutes.
Our canning process meets modern recommended methods. Check out this website, healthycanning.com, for more information.
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. When in doubt, throw it out.

Our portable burner is made by Cadco/Broil King, a solid cast burner in stainless housing. Model PCR-1S, 1500 watts, commercial cooking appliance. Purchased from Amazon.
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.
REAL food has blemishes. It should not look like it’s on display at the museum or fanciest of grocery stores. Eat "ugly" apples, they’re not pumped full of chemicals nor modified in any way.

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

@islandgal500 11 месяцев назад

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.

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving Год назад

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!

I made the applesauce with peels right after I watched this video…and it turned out fine!! The consistency is creamier, which is different, but I love having all of the insoluble fiber and nutrients. It also takes a fraction of the time to make, which for me is important. So a time saving AND nutrient saving method is a winner!! Thanks again! I wouldn’t do the peel on version with store bought apples, as even organic apples can have pesticides.

Sterilization of jars is highly recommend. Taking chances if not.

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 9 месяцев назад

As a seasoned and successful home canner of 27 years, certified food handler, health coach, and Registered Nurse who works in the operating room (where sterilization is my world), I’ve never “sterilized” canning jars, simply clean jars are used. As long as canned foods are processed for 10 minutes or longer (via water bath method or pressure canning), it’s not necessary to “sterilize” the jars. The canning process for this length of time takes care of that. If you feel better doing so, that’s fine, but it’s not necessary. Blessings, LeeAnn

We have our own orchards with many varieties of apples (golden delicious, red delicious, gala, Fuji, Liberty, Granny Smith, Freedom, Jonathan, etc.).

Depends on altitude and stove for length of time and how high burner is on to continue boiled it.

Altitude time adjustments are listed in the video description (click “more”) as well as mentioned in the video. As long as the water bath canner is kept at a rolling boil for the allotted time, it’s fine. Appreciate your input.

@mfrobert100 Год назад

Beautiful! Hey, I was wondering - there are some air bubbles in the jars. Don't you want to "debubble" the jars before you wipe the rim, close them and process them? 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 Год назад

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!

@joycefootracer4418 10 месяцев назад

Can you use monk sugar for canning? Instead og regular sugar?

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 10 месяцев назад

It’s not recommended and may cause taste alterations. We’ve never used it, so can’t speak from experience. We use pure cane sugar that is unrefined. All of the alternative options for sweeteners are highly processed and refined. Do as you please though.

@fyrtalker 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for this! But I’m curious why you don’t have to pack into hot sterilized jars?

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 8 месяцев назад

It is unnecessary to “sterilize” canning jars that will be processed for 10 minutes or longer in a water bath or pressure canner. The only time you need to worry about this is if the processing time is less than 10 minutes, which is never at our house. In all of our 27 years of home canning, we’ve never “sterilized” canning jars. As a registered nurse who works in the operating room, sterile is my world. Also as a certified food handler and health coach, food safety and overall wellbeing is important to me. Blessings, LeeAnn

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💜

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 9 месяцев назад

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!

You may add raw honey if desired when ready to eat it. I would not sweeten the applesauce with honey and then can it.

How long were they in the water bath canner? 20 minutes? Sounds like they came into contact with oxygen (air). Are the lids sealed or loose? Rings on or off after canning and cooling?

@CottageontheCorner 10 месяцев назад

Do you think it would be safe to substitute brown sugar or even honey rather than white sugar? Also, do you have to add lemon juice to each jar or is that really just kind of what the books tell you to do?

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 10 месяцев назад

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.

@CottageontheCorner 9 месяцев назад

@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving I do know what brown sugar is and I also know that honey loses health benefits...I was just wondering if it was safe to can with either instead of white sugar because I have never canned before.

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 9 месяцев назад

@@CottageontheCorner understood, wasn’t being rude, just sharing information as many don’t know. Keeping things simple when canning is ideal. Honey can be used in place of sugar but may have a different taste profile. Have a blessed day!

The time will vary depending on the amount of apples you are working with. Cook them until apples are soft.

Use a melon baller to remove the apple core. This is much faster than using a paring knife. At least it is faster for me.

Do the peels not have wax on them? If leaving them on isn’t the wax still in there? Thanks.

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving Год назад

This applesauce was made using our own apples from our orchard. No wax is on the apples, they are organic as they come. From the trees directly to the kitchen to be processed.

@thenightporter Год назад

@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving Are organic apples as "waxless" as one would find in your orchard?

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving Год назад

@@thenightporter often the apples sold in markets or stores will have a wax added to help preserve for extended sales life or give them a shine that many think is “appealing”. I’d suggest buy direct from an orchard if you can or get directly from some trees. That way you have a better idea what you are getting. If you have to use store purchased apples then you will want to wash them good to remove any added wax or preservatives they may add. We planted some of our trees probably 15 years ago and have planted more since so we know exactly what we have. It takes time no doubt. Hope this helps and if we can answer any other questions please let us know. Blessings!

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 9 месяцев назад

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.

Why remove the bands?

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 11 месяцев назад

They are removed for storage so they don’t rust. They are difficult to remove once the rust on the jar. If we open a jar and don’t use all of the contents we simply get a ring and put on and place in the refrigerator to store until we use up the entire jar. Thank you for watching and for the question. Blessings. 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.

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 10 месяцев назад

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.

You can use Fruit Fresh, citric acid, or lemon juice. It’s primarily used to prevent the apples from browning during the preparation process. There’s no set amount to use, just a generous amount to prevent browning. The amount will vary for everyone depending upon how much you are making.

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

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving Год назад

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.

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 10 месяцев назад

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!
