5 Ways to Preserve Apples 🍎

[@deborahbaughman1366]

I’m so glad you let us hear the popping…that’s my favorite part ♥️♥️♥️

Those peelings have tons of vitamins!!

Happy Holidays! 🎄 we harvested tons of apples this season on our farm and I have been busy and I will be busy for the next month. Love apple butter made some and wrapped some for fresh eating. Yes the peeling is so time consuming I make apple skin jelly, I have not made vinegar what a great idea! I love no waste. Making your own is so much better the prices just keep going up. I look forward to getting my freeze dryer it’s in layaway now. I hope you have a blessed day. Wendy🙏🏻🌎🇺🇸

We are fortunate. We live just over an hour away from the Kings Sandringham Estate Orchard where you can pick apples for £1.45 per kg. There are 2 types available Bramleys- cookers and Coxs- eaters. We are very blessed.

Always loved Apple Butter.

I really like the way the apple pie filling turned out.

[@RowCoFarms]

Thank you Mildred! It tastes amazing too!

[@ericawaymaster2919]

Nice job! I would love to get my hands on that many apples.

We got some apples from ellijay at labor day, and I've been wanting to go back. What a great region! Definitely getting more apples next time

[@lisagrafton2529]

If you put water in the pan that the roasting pan sits in, it boils, and cooks the apples, with less chance of burning them. You do need to scrape the sides, while cooking apples down, so the sugars in the apples don't scorch. It was a relief to know I could go to bed, with the roaster on 200 degrees, and not worry about it burning overnight.

Apple pie filling is beautiful

Thank you Catherine!

I live in Ellijay! Weren’t the leaves beautiful! Your pie filling is beautiful in the jars! Thank you for the video.

[@teresacompton4896]

I love Ellijay apples. When we go see our kids in Ellijay we always get apples. There is one apple house that told us they usually try to keep apples all year. Thank you for sharing.

I found a new to me recipe this year. It's Caramel Apple Jam, its so good and it does not have cinnamon in it.

[@faithfamilyhomestead]

Way to go girl! I have lots of apples and plan to freeze dry some as well

Everything looked amazing Ms Julie!! I did the same thing when I canned my apple pie filling. I was so glad I saw Ms Heather’s @thekneadyhomesteader video. I think mine would have been a mess if I didn’t follow her tip. I may have messed up my apple cider vinegar though. After the 2 week period and dumping out the skins/cores ~ I placed my jars in the fridge. Did I just mess that up? 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@RowCoFarms]

That’s exactly whose video I watched (Kneady Honesteader) for the tips! As far as your vinegar goes….. Well the ferment isn’t quite finished yet but you can totally take it out do the fridge and let it start fermenting again. It will still work I think. It needs another 4-6 no the of sitting to completely eat up the sugars and turn more sour. I think you can still save it!

[@susiesalazar7360]

@@RowCoFarms I will do that. I do hope I can save it. Thank you 😊

[@lisabreeding1861]

So in order for the process to work you need the vinegar with mother? If you get the vinegar from the store, does it have to be the apple cider vinger for it to work?

[@RowCoFarms]

Hi! Yes you need a starter culture in order to get the fermentation process started. It must be apple cider vinegar with the mother. No white distilled, balsamic, red wine, etc will work because they have been pasteurized and don’t contain any active, live bacteria. You need those alive bacteria. That’s what makes it turn from just a pile of fruit and water into the vinegar. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching!

[@HumbleHillsHomestead]

What type of sugar are you using? It looks darker than just raw organic. Is it sucanat?

[@RowCoFarms]

I used raw sugar that I get from Azure.

[@phyllisbell8698]

Standard weight of one bushel of apples is 48 pounds.

[@RowCoFarms]

Thank you! ❤️I was close then! Those were each 1/2 bushels. And I figured about 25 lbs. each. So not bad for guessing huh? 🍏
