How to can apples without sugar

We were given a pile of pie apples and I decided to can our apples without using sugar.
Adding sugar to fruit for canning adds to the flavor and the texture of the fruit, but does not actually affect how long it will last for! Here is how I can fruit without sugar and without a pressure canner.
Grab the peeler corer here: amzn.to/3xK73BX
Water bath apples for 30 minutes or pressure can them for 8 minutes

Love how the kids were in the kitchen, you with one hand trying to get things done. God bless Mommy! Love Grandma's pinny.

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

Gotta pass those skills on to the little people while they love helping!

[@MarshandMellow83]

Love your apron... Grandma's love wrapped around you!!!...❤️ Thanks for sharing...

[@elettramia6380]

I just bought a bag of apples to attempt this. I need sugar free recipes for fruit. I’m Just thankful the sugar has nothing to do with the actual health preservation of the food.

I've watched alot of canning videos and this was the most useful by far. Thank you from Canada.

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Mars_60]

Great video! I love that you littles are not shooed away. They are adorable and well behaved. Good job Mom!

[@shelleysmith6498]

Finally a nz video ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@trishsherwood3718]

Thank you for a very informative and detailed lesson. I love your down to earth personality and the depth of shared information!

Thanks so much Trish!

Reminds me of my mum and nana... need to do some of my own... your nanas apron is gorgeous, a priceless treasure.

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

You should! It is a great way to add to our food security, plus feel very accomplished! And yes, I love her apron, such a special thing to remember her by.

Love the sound of the "crazy toddler running" through the kitchen!❤ super sweet. 😁

The best!

I found with my apple corer slicer, I attached it to a glass cutting board or you can use a cookie sheet. Works great.

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

Thanks for the tip!

[@smas3256]

WOW. The processed apples kept their shape. Thank you. Your video is so helpful including Pros and Cons of methods. You mentioned how delicious they are in Apple crisp with a Crumbly topping. Yum Chunky apple sauce is what I was searching for. This recipe sounds perfect. From USA

[@christopherc6947]

Hi. Enjoyed the video! I stick my corer/slicer to a raised-edge cookie sheet. Not only does it contain the mess, but I can reposition the machine at will by turning the sheet. It works great and makes cleanup a lot of breeze. I work seated on a counter top that's the same size as my cookie sheet and hold it in place with my body against it. You could also clamp the sheet down, or I suppose, just put a towel under it.

Thank you! Just what I was looking for last year, but maybe it wasn’t there yet ;) I just started to prepare the apples this year. I love how you are perfectly fine and calm with the kids around while filming. It also taught me a great lesson. Thank you❣️

[@peterstevens4223]

Another great video .!!!

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

Thanks again!

[@CM-wj9mm]

Looks easy enough for a beginner to try.

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

Totally!

[@peiternellahymen592]

Enjoyed your vid and the lovely family feel, plus your grandma's apron. Going to do the apple cider vinegar too. Thank you so much

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

You are so welcome!

[@charlotteamodeo3031]

Thank you. I have been wondering if it was possible to can apples without sugar.

[@Janderra]

You forgot the link for the apple corer and peeler... great video

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

Oh yes! I will add that now! Thank you x

[@aletavanvuuren5748]

Thank you for the informative video. Id prefer it if you had camera pointing on the product you are working with so we see what you are doing. Very informative though, thank you

[@neiledwards8352]

i use a small cheap clamp from mitre 10 or elsewhere to clamp the peeler corer to the bench it works great great video thanks,

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

That's a great idea! I need one of those!

[@glendastarkey7592]

Can you do more waterbath canning? I just started doing it....i joined your channel😊

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

I will try do some more!

[@sabbathd1]

Wet the bottom of the machine than move the level handle

[@francineperreault9373]

Thank you for this wonderful how-to video. Do you need to peel the apples? Can you can them safely with the peel on? Thank you 🙏🏻💕🇨🇦

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

Yes you can leave the skins on if you prefer, just be sure to give them a good wash first.

[@francineperreault9373]

@@FantailValleyHomestead excellent!! Thank you 🥰🇨🇦

[@bettyscott5588]

Video says you're using the pressure canner, since you're not using the lid for it, what kind of lid are you using? Great video, thanks!

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

It is the lid, but it isn't sealed and the rocker/pressure building bit isn't attached :-)

[@cindyeastbourn7642]

Put peeler on a piece of 18” tile

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

that is a good idea!

[@justcath1]

Greetings from Ontario, Canada. I'm confused about something (nothing new). You indicated to process them in the canning post for 30 minutes if you are using 1 litre jars. Would that not cook the apples? I thought the idea was that they cooked in the pie. New to this canning thing and bit intimidated!!!

[@FantailValleyHomestead]

Hi there, yes it is a bit confusing - all canned food needs to be well cooked to kill all the germs that will make it spoil.
