CANNING SLICED APPLES | Preserving the Harvest

[@drewblack749]

Great tutorial though I seem to be guessing at prepared apple amounts. You are a very good instructor. Thank you.

[@littleorchids5674]

Hi i'm new to your channel. I find it interesting to see how different people do things. Yes we also can things here (Europe - Netherlands/ Denmark). But we also always boil/steam cannes, but use a kind if konservative, to procent mold. Jam and pickling i don't cook. An other thing don't wash your eegs. Just dry dirt off, washing remove the Very thin protective barrier, wich make it harder for bacterier to inter the eegs. ( former laboratorium technician here). Just a tip!

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Hello! Yes, I generally don't wash eggs until I actually use them. Unfortunately in the US - and specifically in the state I live, it is legally required that eggs must be washed when they are sold.

[@zoannewilcox6112]

I LOVE my flour sack towels. When I was young, I would dry while Gramma washed dishes and they dry better than anything I have ever used plus the bonus of memories of Gramma and how her dishes felt holding them.

Thank you so much for the canned apples recipe! I want to make apple pie, got a very nice recipe from my Aunt, but it calls for canned apples. I have extra apples so needed to do something before they go bad. Thanks again.

[@gwendolynmedley4112]

I had to laugh our loud when I seen you put the towels in the Hoosier cabinet...I put mine in the big drawer on the bottom and in the area you use is where I have always stored the snacks, all my children's friends and now their kids head to that cabinet every time they come to visit. Their spouses will gasp because they ask for food, I love it and it just makes my heart swell. I have come to the conclusion that I just need to come hang with you. LOL

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I love that!

[@anetarogoz6057]

I used your directions and canned 10 quart jars of apples. All the pies I will be baking during winter. Yummooo. Thanks.

[@BJ7481]

Thank you. I also love my straining ladle.

[@vickiey4561]

I just watched your video. I am going to be canning apples this way . I have never canned apples in syrup. I have made applesauce and butter and then froze my sliced apples. I never thought to can them! I use the flour sack towels as well! They are the very best as you said! They dry the dishes better than any other towel I have ever tried! Then when they are just to stained to use in the kitchen my husband takes them for the barn or I put them in my horse trailer for when we go camping with the horses. They are great there as well!

[@chrisb5391]

I so enjoy your channel. The apples look great. i see more people using the steam canner. I think I need to invest., It would certainly save on water. I have many flour sack towels. i use them also for rolling out dough for pie crusts. Thanks for sharing your time with us. Peace and blessings.

[@cathykieser53]

Im definitely going to be making these, I've done it before and can be used for so many different recipes. I know this has been from 3 years ago, but can you give me any information on the apron you have on? I love that style

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I sure can 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPRopmMe5V4a7s

Just what I wanted to see as I have a big bag if apples to process thank you

[@stokely418]

The apples canned looks so good 😊

[@jackienoel2864]

Thank you for letting us visit while you worked! I always get more done if I’m visiting!

[@lindav3455]

What a joy to watch you in the kitchen canning. Looks amazing 👍🤗🧡

[@cynthiaadams1674]

Love your apron, did you buy it or make it? If made, do you know where I could get the patturn? Apples look awesome.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Thank you! Yes, I made it. I shared how here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPRopmMe5V4a7s

[@TheSpottedBoot]

Flour sack towels are the BEST! I have a basket full of them too. Just a little bleach and good as new! They are perfect for drying dishes.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Yes!

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Yes!

[@lindagailsch]

The apples look amazing. That might be the first thing I try in my new steam canner if I get my Tattler lids soon. They are supposed to ship this week. I'm about out of reg canning lids and haven't been able to find any. The eggs looked beautiful Constance. So wish we could have chickens where we live. I love the flour sack towels. Have several embroidered sets my grandmother's made for me!

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Oh yes, my grandmother used to embroider them. I think that's actually what she taught me to embroider on!

[@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550]

I love flour sack towels! My favorite too. And I prefer them to cheesecloth when I'm making and draining homemade cheese. They are an underrated kitchen tool for sure!

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Definitely!

[@judyabernathy80]

I can’t believe the amount of eggs you had!! And, such pretty colors. The apples look great! ♥️♥️♥️

[@lesliereinhardt4908]

Do you happen to have a raspberry jam recipe?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I don't at this time. But raspberries can be substituted for most any other berries.

[@grekahg3938]

I’m so excited to get our apples and start canning!

[@GinaOzarks]

Beautiful apples!

[@voodookitchenmama]

Wish I had seen this this morning. Making a huge pot of applesauce now. lol

There's nothing wrong with apple sauce!

Hello sweetheart, what canner is that , that’s a lot’s of eggs 🥚 Waoo, the apples 🍏 look really good, congratulations and blessings for your friend and blessings for you and your family 🙏🏻

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

It is a steam canner, and is used for high-acid foods instead of a hot water bath canner. I have an article that explains more about them here: cosmopolitancornbread.com/how-to-use-a-steam-canner/

Congrats to your friend on his ordination! Are you also a pastor?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I am not formally ordained. :)

[@rhodachavarria1430]

Is there a reason for parboiling versus raw packing?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

All of the recipes that I have for doing apples call for parboiling. I actually haven’t seen one that doesn’t.

[@rhodachavarria1430]

Ok I thought it was maybe to be able to get more in the jar. Since peaches are raw canned I just figured apples would be the same.

[@bethmitchell6981]

Would Gala apples be good for canning? I have found some on a really good sale. As always a great video. We sure appreciate you. God Bless

[@pbar8439]

If you pull up her recipe it says you can use Gala.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Yes! I actually mention galas as an example in the print version of the recipe on my site. Any apple that is firm and somewhat sweet would work great.

[@bethmitchell6981]

@@CosmopolitanCornbread Oh ok. I guess I missed that. Thank you so much Constance. Keep those wonderful videos coming. God Bless

[@Cordelia0704p]

That apple peeling, spirializing & coring doohickey you have looks pretty cool! I like to do this with pears. I never tried apples but you can only make so much pie filling and applesauce so I will probably give it a try.

[@wendyecrain9253]

I have just found your channel and I love it. With your sliced apples have you ever put (what we called red hots) it like a cinnamon candy in little dots in with your apples? My Grandfather used to do that with his and they were so good. Now I can't eat them because I am allergic to the cinnamon. Loves and hugs. God Bless you and your family.

[@pwquilter1016]

Never thought about canning apples. Great idea!!! I'm putting up tomatoes and salsa this weekend. I have a question about the tattler lids. I noticed that you put it on finger tight. I thought that you lightly put the lid on and then tighten down after they are taken out of the canner. I know there is an older lid and than the E-Z lid which is what I have. Did they change that with the newer lids? Just want to check to make sure I'm not doing it wrong. Thank you Constance - appreciate all you do for this community.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

You are correct! I did do it a little looser than the other regular lids. Hard to see that in the video. I still do a mix of lids, as I am not confident enough to dedicate a whole batch to the reusable lids. I will also find myself having to stop and go back, loosen the reusable ones because I snugged them up out of habit. I'll get it one of these days :)

[@JennBenn99]

Constance, great video as always. I combed through your past videos today because I have a few questions. I wanted to make sure you hadn't covered it before i asked, as I know you are busy. I want to store flour, rice, sugar and corn meal for long term, at least a years worth. I was going to vacuum seal them. I put the flour and rice in the freezer as I watched a video by another KZbin and she said freeze for 3 days then remove to bring to room temp and put the items (portions amount my discretion) in a brown paper sack tape it up them vacuum seal. SO I was all set to do that but then I seen where someone else said mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. So now I am confused. And to top that off my flour and rice have been in fridge for almost a month due to my indecisiveness. Can you please advise?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

The way I store things for long term varies by what it is. I have buckets with lids that seal, and have used oxygen absorbers in those. I have also used (and do use) mylar bags with oxygen absorbers as well. I have never heard about using a paper bag. Honestly that seems a little redundant. My guess is that the paper sacks are for inside clear vacuum seal bags? If so, that is probably for blocking light. If you have mylar bags, they already block light, so you wouldn't need them. I hope that helps!

[@JennBenn99]

@@CosmopolitanCornbread Ok, thank you. The brown paper sacks was to keep the flour or fine stuff from being sucked into vacuum sealer while it was doing it's thing. So I can put my sugar in bucket's with oxygen absorbers? Also too what should I do about the rice and flour that has been in the freezer for nearly a month now? Is it salvageable?

[@rosemarieswensen992]

Just wondering what kind of apples did you use ?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

If I remember correctly, I think they were Gala apples.

[@rosemarieswensen992]

[@indianajulie]

What will you do with the canned apples?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Use them for other recipes, like cobblers, crisps, etc.

How many apples did it take please

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

It takes about 2 1/2-2 3/4 lb of apples per pint.

If you pull up her recipe it states 11#.
