Canning Apples for Pantry Storage

#herhomesteadskills I have been gardening, quilting, soaping and canning for most of my life. I believe there might be some value to documenting some of the skills I have learned over the years. I appreciate you joining me on this journey. We can all learn something from each other, and I hope to gain some insight from other peoples experiences as well.

I do that too Toni. Most of my pressure canned meats, poultry and fruits are plain. Maybe a bit of garlic and salt to them, but fruits in light syrup. Then, when cooking, I just make the dishes as I want them. So easy, and so good!

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Yes, I find that to be the best way!!!

[@homesteadingwithapurpose9681]

I just found your channel today. Your kitchen must have smelled wonderful with the bread and apples. Thank you for sharing.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Thank you! 😊

[@monnanugent8168]

The apples look wonderful but your bread looks amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

HI Monna, Thank you so much !!!

[@cbass2755]

Hi Toni…😊. I’m canning Apple Crisp Apples today and came to you too see how you do them. I checked my Ball Book too. But I do like to watch how people do them, I like a visual. My chicken chunks are pressure canning now, so once done, I’m starting this. Busy Sunday for me too but I just love doing this stuff!! I’m in Heaven here today on a cold snowy Michigan day in 2022. Love and Respect Toni….Connie. Btw…you look so cute! I love your top! 🥰

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Good to hear that you are busy canning and filling up your pantry!!! Thank You!

[@fruitful7753]

If you take the slicer off the end of the apple peeler it will leave the apple unsliced. Then you can get a corer-slicer, and it will core the apples and slice them into thick slices. If you want thick slices.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Yes, you can do that if you wish to have thick slices!

[@mynuttyfamilyadventures]

I should have canned some of my apples, I didn't even think about that! What a great idea!

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

You still can, apples are available in abundance right now !!!!

[@mynuttyfamilyadventures]

@@HerHomesteadSkills So true! I want to go apple picking this Fall, we usually do every year and load up lol

[@Justme-Diana]

Wow that apple peeler/corer is amazing

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Diana...yes, the apple peeler/corer/slicer..works like a charm.

[@cloryk2040]

Morning Toni…canning some apples this afternoon so had to tune into your channel. I’m doing Fuji.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

clory k...Ah, good morning, good for you! I'm just a bit tired, and catching up on the usual chores...quickly running out of chicken stock AGAIN!!!! When the weather changes, He will likely stop having his pint of chicken stock every morning!! another reason to welcome Spring!!!

[@deniseholloway]

Nice apple canning! TYFS

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Thank you so much!!!

[@AndyBravura]

Looks yummy and fresh...super like new friend😋👌🙏

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Thanks and welcome

[@toniclanton832]

Toni where'd ya get the apple peeler? Thank you for all your simple videos you don't yell you speak softly and I like that !

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Toni Clanton..Try Bed, Bath and Beyond, Walmart, and Amazon has them as well..Thank you...I like to talk as though my listeners are in the same room as me, I'm glad you like that!

[@wandastanley5769]

I just saw your videos yesterday. I’m really enjoying all you’re sharing and I’m planning on using your pie crust and storing methods I’ve been blessed with a bunch of Tennessee apples so your information will help greatly! Thank you!

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Wanda Stanley...Thank you so much...I love apples too!

[@TEXASdaughter]

great video. Do all apples on your apple peeling machine have to be sliced into thin wedges

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

the unit I have is adjustable, I can drop the blade that slices the thin wedges, so that I can just peal and core!

[@imaspacewoman]

I hope you check your videos today because I have a question that needs a quick answer. How many MINUTES did you water bath them for???? I didn't hear you tell that and other than that this was a perfect video. Also was the apples in your sugar blanch water boiling the whole 5 minutes or just boiling hot for 5 minutes before you jarred them up? I like the fact that after canning the apples are not floating on top of the sugar water. I am running to town now to get bottled lemon juice, as I came back from the NC Mountains late yesterday with a whole bushel of apples and have a johnnie apple seed corer, peeler, slicer like yours.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Ok the apples are not floating because they have been blanched in the sugar water...normally I avoid blanching wherever I can get away with it, but apples have lots of air, and this helps...I water bath pints for 20 minutes!

[@CarlosSejas2007]

Thanks for sharing! Doy you know how long it would take in a pressure canner?

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

no...but I wouldn't pressure can apples, unless you want applesauce!

[@andrewjohnmader48]

I have a couple of those apple peeler/corers, their awesome.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Andrew John Mader..LOL..Yes they are a very useful tool!

[@simplelife-bestlife8192]

Can these be used as fried apples like the Lucks Fried Apples?

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

I don't know!

[@carlahabeck4051]

Thank you for this simple method of canning apples. Did you say how many pounds of apples you started with?

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

I likely did not say...and I don't remember!

[@suzannemorton6351]

When did the vinegar water come in I thought you put lemon juice in water to let them soak so they wouldn't turn brown

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

vinegar is only used to clean the rims of the jars before adding the lid and ring, and then added to the canner water (not the individual canned food products) to prevent the cloudy mineral buildup on the outside of your jars during the canning process. this keeps your jars clear.

[@kathygenovy3893]

What was their texture like?

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

soft ! I use it for pie fillings and apple sauce!

[@nancytabor8302]

Why can you water bath can apples when they are not acidic? I get so confused!

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Nancy Tabor...because apples have a PH level of 2.9 to 3.3 which is considered acidic...anything over a PH of 7 is considered alkaline.

[@TheBobelly628]

Will apples be mushy? You have another video on canning apple so they remain firm and you follow another process. Thanks

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

TheBobelly628, will they be mushy? a slightly different texture, but this method works as well! Thanks for Watching.

[@TheBobelly628]

Thanks for reply!

[@nancybarnes6316]

I heard you say vinegar water?

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

perhaps to add to the "canner water" to prevent cloudy mineral build up on the outside of the jars, I did not say to to add vinegar inside jars of canned Apples!

[@Tess1984]

May I ask... Doesn't blanching the apples make them mushy when you water-bath them ? Okay... I asked that before you explained it... Sorry... Good video 🦋

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Theresa C....Hey...thanks for watching and commenting !!

[@Tess1984]

@@HerHomesteadSkills Aways🦋

[@melindamiller2804]

Why did you blanche in sugar water?

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

I chose too based on the apples tartness...It isn't required!

[@melindamiller2804]

Thank you!

[@1-800-jenny]

Just in time for me I just got a bag of apples for the dollar

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Awesome !!!

[@nancybarnes6316]

I’m so confused
