How to Make and Can Homemade Applesauce

[@blancaartgallery]

This seems like the easiest, simplest video on long term storage process I've seen in a while. Thanks!

[@TheWolfePit]

Forgot to mention.......the vinegar to the water to keep them from canning is brilliant!! I've always wondered why my jars came out cloudy!! Thank you!

[@ReggieTime]

Hi, im clueless, why do we boil the filled jars, the Asauce is cooked. Are you saying these Asuace was Not "canned"

[@IRDeezlSmoke]

I never really knew what the device was called mom used to make apple sauce with. Now I know, and it is good to know they still make them. I always called it the apple sauce maker. If you have a cool place to store the canned sauce, instead of a room temp pantry, they will store for a lot longer. But hey, why let that happen? Apple sauce goes so well with so many other foods in a meal. Adding cinnamon to a cold bowl is my favorite. Thank you for this video.

[@TheWolfePit]

Love the new cutting board!!! And love the apple cleaning method!! NOW I want a bucket of apple sauce!! This is awesome Jason! YUM!!

[@danialholt4174]

I processed and canned 100 pounds of apples much the way you did in this video, but I didn't hear any elevator music in the background.

[@sharonmores8697]

lol added ambiance

[@annette9747]

LOL

[@damaribrackett1159]

QUESTION how much will the applesauce change if I add the skin

[@Reality-50s]

🤣😂

[@margaretbass773]

Ha ha!!!

[@ljm9092]

thank you for sharing, you have very clean health habits. I will be canning mine tomorrow, I am a first timer with applesauce.

[@chidubs8590]

Linda Malnati can you do this with any fruit like melon pone apple etc

[@skcheong5130]

B

[@pamelaremme38]

Me too. Getting my apples on Monday.

[@pamelaremme38]

2021 lol

[@MargotKeyes]

I've canned tons but never thought about applesauce. Not enough in my household eat it, but if I can myself from our own apples, neighbors' , store bought, I can put in whatever size jars I need and eat as I see fit. So easy. I have no idea what apples I am using, as they are my neighbor's, but I will simply add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. (even apple pie spice!) to taste (they are pretty tart!) Using an apple peeler/corer/slicer and then food processor works as well as a food mill. Thanks!!!

[@wildheart5]

Don't you just love canned foods! I have been a canning fool this summer. Apples are next on my hit parade. Going to do sauce and spiced apple rings. Just finished pickled beets. I am glad you showed how to can because it is so easy and so rewarding. I just love when I hear the "pop" of the jars. Simple pleasures, you know? Wonderful video!!

[@NolaGB]

Finally ... some one said how they processed their apple sauce/apple jam!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

[@heyhuda56]

Omg this video is perfect! I got a 7 month old I'm starting to feed solids, I'm gonna def make this!!

[@shelbymartin2598]

I have made two batches of your apple butter. I really don't like apple butter myself, but this is so good I'm sure I will enjoy. Great Recipe!! From Danville, Va.

[@suzannegrummell318]

Breezy, upbeat presentation with simple, clear and complete directions. Like the background music.

[@allisonkrohn5529]

Loved your video; nicely done. You're an excellent instructor!

[@MichaelSHartman]

Found your text around 3:00 was hard to read. Maybe next time you might use a gray text that might stand out against both light and dark background. Thanks.

[@Kiwiqwp]

It says "Make sure you use a pan big enough to cover the jars with at least one inch of water over the top of the jars, you also want to use a rack of some sort to keep the jars off the bottom of the pot"

[@cek7940]

Thank you for your video, I just moved to the country and inherited a mature apple tree. I had a pretty big storm and the next morning went out with a laundry basket and gathered the ones that got knocked to the ground. I'm looking for things to do with all these beautiful apples! I like your black and white pot holder also, very pretty! Blessings to you sir :)

[@mysteryglo]

You made it look so easy. I have never canned anything but guess now, I may give it a try..

[@heatherjolly8389]

this is the BEST tutorial! to the point, well edited. I LOVE It!

[@c.calliecoleman1531]

That was a very good demonstration you gave. I once thought that canning was a complicated process but you sure made it simplified, and complete, so now I'll try it. Thank you ✌

[@creativecompanion]

Thx! I grew up on my mom’s canned apple sauce. Now, between my neighbors and I, we have 3 apple trees and a pear tree. We’ll be making plenty of apple and pear sauce this year! 😄

[@gigimarino3764]

Great job explaining it perfectly

[@imperceptibleme]

It's been years since I've canned anything. This looks good! Hugs!

[@squincegoddess]

Good Lord, look at you making homemade applesauce. Awww the jars look so pretty, you are so good at everything you do. I'm the total opposite lol.

[@Sheila6325]

You know what? I'm an idiot. Seriously, with 4 kids I always had to have huge jars of applesauce, now that there is just my son and myself, I don't need as much, WELL, how about SMALLER JARS!!! Dhhhhh. Where did my brain go? This is just wonderful, now I can rethink everything. It takes a long time to break habits that are over 45 yrs old. That size is Perfect, and this is such a help. You always make light bulbs go off in my head, and I want to thank you for that. I love those apples too. TY

[@legionofonestacker1211]

Applesauce is Soo good, thankyou for this video.

[@rosemariekury9186]

It's really good to after you open them then add cinnamon and sugar. Also when my mom made this she'd make it with a more chunkier texture and was good that way too.

[@johnmisrahi9922]

This is a great video, to the point, thanks for that! The only thing I would comment is that the safe canning guidelines say to leave the jars undisturbed for a minimum of 12 hours (12-24 is fine), as opposed to a minimum of 24.

[@AlweeNBoo]

I'm so excited to do this!! I got some green transparent apples from a local farm that Idk what to do with before they go bad. This is perfect! Thank you so much!

[@gcrranch439]

Iam going to use this method for my 4-H food preservation group tonight! Thank you for posting

[@WalkScripture]

I see you haven’t put out a video in a year but I subscribed to be able to easily go back and watch the rest of your videos

[@marisacucinaitaliana]

followed your recepie as per vedio and thankyou the applesauce came just fine! easy to follow vedio hope you have some other canning ideas i would love to follow them .

[@Sheila6325]

PS That looked so easy, and delicious too. You did a wonderful job. I'm going to try it without sugar this time too. Thank you for the video, and I don't even need to make dozens of jars either. Wow!

[@leslieMClass80]

Easy peasy! Thanks for taking the time to show this process!

[@FindingTheBliss]

Thank you so much for this super useful video. We have quite a few apples from our two apple trees so I will be surely be trying your recipe very soon. Thanks. 🍎 🙏

[@lacyvanterve]

How do you know how much lemon juice to add?

[@aidanbanjo]

I am so excited to make applesauce now! Our two apple trees at our farm always overflow with apples and we haven't ever used them. They're very tart. So I think applesauce will be perfect. Thanks for making this video!

[@classythrifter3633]

Thank you for a clear and concise video!

[@embracetheweird-cats]

This was incredibly helpful thank you so much

[@mikelogan99CDLClassAskillstest]

I'm impressed, very clear instructions. I also have a youtube channel and I also try to just give just the instructions and leave out all of the extra comments. My apple trees are 5 years old and last year I canned about 13 quarts of pie filling and applesauce with my daughters help. This year I'm going it alone and I'm estimating 3 times that amount with two trees.

[@rondagoodlet5588]

Thank you for sharing this video! Have a bunch of apples to preserve on hand from a neighbor. Looks yummy!

[@AussieAngeS]

I absolutely love the look of this apple sauce jason. I'm definitely making it for sure. Your version is easy and no added sugar. Thanks heaps for showing this. Shared for you on FB.

[@cathyphegley7414]

Dang! So simple and concise! Thank you!💕

[@pascalmiller4289]

'kind of a nifty contraption but it is kind of a pain in the ass to use' hahahahaha best video ever !

[@user-ie9qt4og6h]

thank you this is the best applesauce ever you have the best videos:D

[@patriciaforbes7179]

I made the apple sauce using 3/4 to 1 cup of water. Apples when cook releases a lot of water so the nutrition was kept within the sauce

[@sallyplunkett3992]

Looks easy, I will try!

[@rintube12]

great tutorial, looks really good....thanks!

[@yllekr123]

I have never canned it. It's so easy to make, we just make it when we want it. I suppose it would be different if we had apple trees, but that's not my case. We do have an orchard close by (5 blocks) and they don't wax their apples. You do apple butter? Have never made it, and sure would like to learn.

[@carolherm]

Many thanks. Can I use a tomato press to process or would it make it too runny? Thanks

[@patriciamamani4139]

I love the video I just didn't understand the last part when you say to make sure we seal them pressing the bottom in the center

[@robertsparling]

When you boil the jars, there is a pressure buildup inside of them. This allows a bit of air to escape. After the jars cool, there should be a vacuum inside the jars that pulls the lid inward. If the lid is not down, then the jar did not seal properly, and cannot be stored. Test the seal by pressing on the middle of the lid. If you can press the lid down and it pops back up, then the seal is not good. Put that jar in the fridge and eat the applesauce over the next two weeks.

[@patriciamamani4139]

+Robert Sparling thanks😉

[@pennymesa-smith5280]

Thank you, nice and simple.

[@nikkibutcher4055]

This is great - thanks for sharing!

[@droscom]

Great video!

[@TheOrator21]

Love your recipes!

[@Lantanana]

Very nice video, thanks!

[@janiepecina3057]

Thank you super easy !

[@DippySippy]

Thanks for this. How long does it last once its oppened?

[@alkadeshmukh2404]

Excellent video !!!!! 10 stars!

[@keisreeman]

CCJ, to save fuel and water, and keep the kitchen cool, how about boiling and removing the wax serially like an assembly line? Boil water in a small sauce pan and put in one apple at a time, then remove the first apple and wipe its wax off while boiling the second apple, etc.? It only takes a couple minutes longer and you only need boil one quart of water instead of a gallon or more.

[@marykester3809]

My favorite apples are honey crisps. I would love to do this, cheaper than buying it.

[@maureensmyth8877]

can you add some currants to the apple mix without causing any problems for the canning?

[@susanfryer1616]

Thankyou gonna Make some tomorrow

[@lori7008]

Thanks for making it easy! I want to do this! Does it matter how much lemon juice you put in?

[@pamelaleonard6897]

Love this!! Ty!!!!

[@ccross04]

How long will the applesauce be good for on the shelf after you've preserved it in the jars?

[@ChosenRellll1111]

Do we have to have lemon 🍋

[@CVespa38]

If you do not have food mill or processor can a ninja be used?

[@tammohler1957]

Hi there at what point do i add sugar and cinnamon and how much? Also what are the best apples to use ?

[@ReggieTime]

Hi, why is it required to boil the filled jars, if the sauce is cooked❓

[@marilynmcclintock2974]

Perfect way

[@Em92kj]

thank you looks very easy :)

[@sharonmores8697]

I've always made applesauce, but usually freeze it. I add sugar and cinnamon, but i never used lemon juice.

[@hjami]

Thanx Sharon, I am going to do it your way, so much easier.

[@TheStampede000]

you don't necessarily have to boil the jars , you can use the heat from the apple , but you need to work swiftly make the apple sauce as usual but have the jars ( quart or pint) cleaned beforehand put hot tap water in the jars then put the lids and rings on , wet the lids before hand helps to seal better ) then just let the jars alone as they cool down (make sure they aren't on the cold counter or jars will crack/break)

[@robertsparling]

That is the hot pack method, and is OK for keeping food over the winter. He is using the water bath method. In a dark, cool basement, they will keep for years and years and years.

[@navjotkaur1688]

Thx for sharing🖒

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Excellent instructional video! Was the screen on your food mill fine or medium? I have that same yellow colander. Two in fact lol!

[@sarahcontento9516]

Hi I was wondering if I could add peaches or another fruit to my applesauce and still water bath can it.

[@BlackThyme]

yes, you can. you can make bologese sauce and can it in a water bath anything in fact

[@cloeyb4146]

Where does the lemon juice come in at with the water?

[@cindyeastbourn7642]

Could you use apple juice to cook them in.

[@TheCropsyManiac]

Do you still have to add lemon juice if your just making to put in fridge to use that week?

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

Yes. Without it the applesauce oxidizes and turns brown just like a cut apple.

[@TheMarky26]

How long does this keep sitting on the shelf in the pantry?

[@danielcherniske2983]

Great video! Thank yoU!

[@annabellebaldwin57]

OMG thank you for this video

[@cdavis91801]

Amazing 😳👏

[@TheJhndarwin]

Molte Grazie

[@terrymoser47]

Thank you

[@rajmarileejnae2466]

but how would you take the seeds and skins out?

[@brenna5202]

Can I do this with a regular big pot?

[@catlady8324]

Mom always said all the vitamins & nutrients are in the skins & peels. I hope to make it with peels, a bit chunky, just a hint of cinnamon and maybe even nutmeg if I'm feeling nutty... If I ever muster the gumption, that is. Thx for the great video! A+++++

[@melodyduncan6526]

can I wash the jars in the dishwasher?

[@mexricebowl]

Do you have a recipe for potato salad.?

[@peej2420]

How much lemon juice do you add please...

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

1 Tbls per 3 lbs of apples.

[@trainboy192]

How much lemon juice did you add?

[@pedrozayas9051]

what makes the canned applesauce last a year? What part in the process ensures a year pantry life? Is it just the fact that it is jarred?

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

Simply jarring it will not make it last. You must process it (boil the filled jars) in order to make it shelf stable. If you do not want to process it, it must be stored in the refrigerator and be used within 7 days.

[@pedrozayas9051]

@@croutoncrackerjacks thank you!

[@angelsuniverse6021]

How long they last?

[@rebbo02]

Thanks for the video! Trying it now with my 4-year old baby girl. Question: why did you say you have to boil the mason jars for 20 minutes (regardless of size)? What is significant about the 20 minutes?

[@BlackThyme]

it really depends on your altitude how long you have to boil the jars

[@honest1966]

what's the purpose of the jar preparation as far as boiling etc

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

The main purpose is to heat the jars so you can safely add hot food to them without them breaking from thermal shock. Second reason is to sterilize the jars. You don't *HAVE* to sterilize them according to Ball and the National Center for Home Preserving since they are being processed longer than 10 minutes however I do it anyway. I don't want to take any chances with something being in my jars since I store them for months.To me, since I have to heat the jars anyway before I fill them, may as well boil them for 10 minutes for peace of mind. But it's up to you. But heating them before filling them is not optional. You *will* break jars by filling cold jars with hot food.

[@ralphhough5297]

when I do tomato sauce, I put my jars in the dishwasher on the high heat cycle. I pull the jars out 2 at a time and fill with sauce. wipe the top and add the seals and rings and put on the counter. with in an hr or so the kids start to pop or seal. Is this an ok practice? I never put them back into the boiling pot for the 20 min when done. any tips or advice is appreciated

[@catlady8324]

Ralph Hough I don't think that method is considered "safe" although you do seem to be getting away with it.

[@emanihunter1065]

This is great but my applesauce won't last a week let alone a year lol it'll be gone quickly !

[@jonathanchan3271]

i like apple sauce

[@letsgetcellular]

Does boiling the mason jar kids prevent them from rusting? Most of mine have rusted >(

[@jamesg2405]

Can you do this without using lemon juice?

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

It is not recommended. It's to acidify the apples so they are safe to process and store as well as it prevents the apples from turning brown.

[@lindaphelps1514]

How much lemon?
