Making homemade applesauce

In this video we make applesauce from the apples harvested in the garden. Something we try to do each year. Yummy, and useful in many dishes and pastries.
Recipe:
1 kg apples
1/2 dl water
6 dl sugar / liter strained apples
Sodium benzoate (according to manufacturers recommendations)
Clean the apples, cut them in ping-pong ball sized pieces (remove the stem and flower "bud").
Add the water and slowly cook or simmer the fruit until it is soft and mushy.
Use whatever strainer machine you have and measure the total volume.
Add the sugar, let it heat up and simmer for about 5 min. Stir regularly!!
Take it off the heat, add the preservative, stir and pour on well cleaned jars.
Add food safe paraffin wax o top. Done!
Store in a moderately heated and dark place.
Will keep fresh for a year or two.

I remember 55 years ago, 3 generations gathered at harvest time to prepare foods from our properties. The last 30 years its just been me. No one cares. Children can't be forced to do anything. But they are there to eat. The old ways from Europe, are the best BTW: the expelled pulp makes great chicken feed.

Could you use a power hammer instead to make the apples all mushy?

[@stoneforest2639]

I would love to the outcome of that XD

[@jeffsandling5981]

Man the memories of making apple butter, fig and pear preserves with my grandparents every year just rushed back. I can even smell it! Best part was my Grandfather letting me make hand molds with paraffin wax and my Grandmother getting on to him about wasting stuff. He would always reply "Living life could never possibly be a waste of anything..." Thanks for this one brother!!!

Great memories!! Thanks

Some of the best memories of my childhood where in the kitchen canning veggies, making jams and jellies with my parents and brother. Glad that you get to pass this on to your children.

[@ButterflyMatt]

I love your food videos as well as those to do with smithing. Thanks for another good one. It’s good to see your family working together.

[@psidvicious]

Yum! Some nice thick pork chops with a side of homemade apple sauce 🤤 Like so many others have said, this reminds me of my childhood. Only we had oranges instead of apples from my grandfathers grove. All the women would sit around the kitchen table and slice up giant bowls of orange slices while telling stories and laughing and the latest gossip of course. Great memories! 🤜🤛

[@torbjornahman]

Yes, that sounds great! Thanks

[@douglasfathers4848]

We picked up a Johnny Apple peeler from an orchard my wife and I went to and it made making apple sauce and apple butter so much easier. Peels, removes core, spiral slices all at once.

You seem to have that perfect blend of work life / family life. We could all learn a lot from you in this regard. I love that the kids were so eager to help. But have you ever noticed that their interest always seems to dwindle once it's down to basically cooking, canning and cleaning up? : )

Thanks. Yes that is noted here too :)

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Very interesting process an it was a joy to watch you an your grand kids make it.

[@cuttwice3905]

Conserving and canning season is upon us all. So far I've made various pickles, canned tomatoes, dried tomatoes, dried herbs, etc. I have 5.5 kg of tomatoes waiting for me to slice and dry. That amount will fit in two one liter jars. My family loves the tomato chips. Have you ever considered getting a canning funnel? You could forge one out of stainless steel after looking at a picture or three online. [Full disclosure, I bought mine from a hardware store - I cannot forge.]

[@torbjornahman]

Cool! I will have a look... could use one for sure :)

[@gunterschone8402]

Nice video, Torbjörn. The applesauce looks delicious. The Atamon is also known as E211. I do not know about the wax at the end. Well, everybody cooks differently because I do not know that kind of you. I know it so, chop the apple, the core casing is removed, then add a little lemon (so that the apple does not turn brown). When the apples are all in the pot, sugar will add to it and vanilla stalk. It will simmer until the apples are almost overcooked, then it will be crushed and bottled.

[@Vikingwerk]

the fact that you MADE a pair of scissors that are far superior than any i have ever used/owned just stuns me.

[@dadegroot]

Always interesting to see how common items are made in other countries. I've made apple sauce myself on many an occasion, although not in that quantity, usually making it as I need it. The parafin wax is definitely different to how I bottle things, I fill to the brim, and put the lids on when everything is still hot. As it cools, a vacuum is formed and the safety indicator on the lid pops in, you can then see you have a good seal and the contents will keep.

[@TgWags69]

Very nice. My mother would usually press the remaining juice out of the trimmings and make a small batch of jelly too. It was a small consolation prize because mom wouldn't let us eat the canned goods till the snow was flying
