Making / Canning Applesauce, Apple Pie Filling & Apple Syrup

Lots of people have asked how I preserve our apples outside of cold storage, so in this video I share how I water bath can applesauce and apple pie filling. We use our scraps to make and can apple syrup. These are basic recipes that have been in my family for generations and hopefully continue in generations to come.
The apple syrup is kind of a bonus as it is made from the apple scraps that most people either feed to livestock, compost or just through away. Its a quick and easy recipe that can easily substitute maple syrup but is so much easier to make and cans extremely well.
The full recipe for the applesauce/pie filling is on our web page at www.keepingitriel.com/recipe-...
The Apple Cinnamon Syrup recipe is from the Ball - Blue Book guide to preserving.
*NOTE: I use the same recipe to make my pie filling. The only difference is I cut the apples into slices after peeling and coring and do not mash them.

Perfect video! I was looking for a video like this to use up our apples in multiple ways.

[@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve]

We're glad you liked it! We added a recent video on making a fruit buckle with apples and hope to have one soon on making your own apple juice from the leftover peels and cores. Thank you for watching!!

The syrup is delicious and when canned lasts in the pantry for years. Thanks for watching!!

Try adding raisins boiled in water with a pinch of salt (optional).

[@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve]

Interesting addition 😊 Raisins do add a unique sweetness to many recipes. Thank you for watching!

[@kerrigrandmaison7844]

🇨🇦 for the apple syrup, is the crock pot on low??

[@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve]

Thank you for your question! I started them on high for the first 4 hours (I talk about this at 27:50 in the video) then I simmered them overnight on low until I could get to them the next morning(I pick up on this at 32:17 in the video) I hope this answers your question and thank you so much for watching!

[@paulettagyurik2644]

Do you have a link for the digital thermometer? And also a link for your Apple pealer

[@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve]

Thanks for asking! The Digital Thermometer: amzn.to/2MUVC7H and the Manual Apple Peeler: amzn.to/3ShJhdp. And thanks for watching!

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve thank you

[@theresak4343]

I'm confused; how does it get up to 230 degrees if the boiling point of water is 212 degrees? The canning experts tell me to pressure can some items that won't get beyond 212.

[@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve]

Thank you for your question. Syrup boils at a higher temperature than water. I mention you can use a candy thermometer which actually can go as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit. At this point in the video we are making the syrup, we are not yet at the canning process. The lemon juice is added to this syrup to allow us to water bath can it. The Ball Blue Book has their Apple-Cinnamon Syrup recipe which has the details for making and canning this recipe. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment.

[@theresak4343]

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve I appreciate your knowledge; I thought the water would boil out of the syrup, but I can see you guys surely know what you're doing; thank you for your response.

Hello,Can i use bread glour with your same recipe?

[@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve]

Hi! Which recipe are you referring to specifically?

[@mindywhite1568]

How long did you process the syrup in the canner ?

[@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve]

It’s processed for 10 minutes in the water bath canner.

[@sandraking9650]

And how long to process the syrup?

[@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve]

Thanks for an awesome question. This is a long overall process but I'm guessing you're referring to the final step of turning the liquid into the final syrup? At 38:20 I begin discussing the temperature and time needed to process the liquid into syrup. This time is based on getting the liquid to 230 degrees Fahrenheit then boiling it for 5 minutes. The time to get to this point will vary based on how much liquid you are processing, the pot you're using and your stove. In our case, it took us about 20 minutes to reach this point but we also had to switch burners. I hope this helped. The full recipe can be found in the Ball- Blue Book guide to preserving. Thanks again for watching.

[@sandraking9650]

You didn't show how you did the pie filling???

[@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve]

Great question. I mention at 24:05 that I'm going to make the pie filling but missed mentioning that I use the same exact ingredients as in the apple sauce. I've added a link to the recipe located on our web page in the details of the video. Thanks for watching!

[@sandraking9650]

Your ending comments? Show exact directions, keep it real!

[@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve]

Thanks for your suggestion. We've updated the description of the video to address your earlier concerns and have added a link to the recipe on our web page. Thanks again.
