Mildly Injuring Myself Canning Apples - Don't Do What I Did! | Let's Talk IBD

Today I am sharing my canning process for apple pie filling (a recipe by Ball). The process was long and I wound up hurting myself, but thankfully everything turned out great!

Hi, I'm Maggie and I have Crohn's disease. I am thrilled to be here sharing my personal experiences with Inflammatory Bowel Disease as well as living with an ostomy. I'm proud to share a little bit from a clinical experience as well, having worked as a GI pediatric nurse and ostomy telehealth nurse. I am so glad you are here. ♥ #ibd #crohnsdisease #ostomy

Just sent you a link for an apple peeler and corer that I have used for years. It’s a real time saver and nail saver. So sorry about your injury. Your canned apples look amazing .

[@jameschristiansson3137]

Is there a brand name and/or model name you can share here?

[@pamfreeman1973]

I used to love canning when I was younger and raising a family . One thing I would suggest is leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of your jars . I admire you that you want to can and do so many things that young people just don’t want to do anymore .

[@NorseButterfly]

I was just about to comment this! When I helped my mom can jam and jelly when I was a child. She always left about 1/2 inch, so there was no seepage.

[@susansmart8086]

If you keep going with preserving apples, you might want to get a tool that peels, cores and slices all at once. Made all the difference in the world when I started dehydrating. Also, if you use WSU’s recently released apple variety Cosmic Crisp, you don’t have to worry about browning as much. This non-GMO variety was traditionally developed with Honeycrisp as one of the parents.

[@martijory3634]

Amazon has the Apple Peeler Slicer Corer that does everything in 1 step! No more booboos for Maggie.

[@thewisepowerchair2369]

Canning is certainty a skill, craft and hobby. I hope you had a lovely time with Zach and Tyler. May your nail grow back and your finger heal soon.

[@lrussell5496]

If you are doing a bunch of apples the best thing to do is use a hand crank apple peeler. Makes quick work of it.

[@SB-xw8fr]

I'm so sorry you hurt your hand. May you have a speedy recovery.🚀

[@Kay-freak]

Speedy recovery with the nail. Anything Apple 🍏 I enjoy alot.

[@michellebridges2604]

Speedy recovery ❤🙏 hope you have a great week ❤

[@Diane-vh9ho]

Hand crank apple peeler. Must have.

[@LetsTalkIBD]

I may just get one if I do this again!!

[@WAK387]

@@LetsTalkIBDhighly recommend. You will be amazed at how fast and easy it is!

[@parkerren]

Sorry about the nail. Hope you feel better. You do so much. Thank you for the videos. I use a nondrainable now, and it saves me so much money. Again feel better. You're wonderful. Now I'm hungry for an 🍎.

[@SuzeeD4358]

This seems pretty typical of my canning experiences. I used to can a lot but not as much now that my boys are grown and not home. Take care!

[@jenny_rice]

That is so cool that you know how to do canning. And as for cutting your finger with the peeler, yeah, I've done that - just a little cut. So every time I start peeling I have to remind myself to slow down so I don't do that again because I normally just want to hurry up and get things done. I hope you finger heals quickly and you had some fun with Tyler. 💜

[@patriciaconstantino4669]

Hope your finger heals soon. Love all your videos. Apples look so good. 🍎

[@melodysmithey3172]

Those apples were huge! And beautiful!! You should enter a jar in your local fair!

[@anneebee412]

Maggie-I’m so sorry about your injury. I’ve done that before and ouch! Try to see if you can find a peeler that is shaped like an uppercase letter Y. They’re much easier to use and way more efficient.

[@Dexy83]

If you weren't a RN, I'd worry you needed stitches with it being so painful. 😢 Hand crank peeler, please! 💙

[@BlueMolly2024]

Maggie, I tore my left pinkie finger off, and OMG the pain. Big 🤗 to you.

[@dyskover]

I bought a case of the 32 oz ball jars from walmart and intend to use them for sprouts and food storage instead of tupperware or plastic. I've been using some to put up about a week's worth of essentially vegetable stew each week now for about a month. One sesh prepping and slowly cooking or steaming. I don't use oil at all. I do add beans I've pre-cooked. Lots of variety. (I can eat almost anything since my colostomy! So happy about that and the fact that when I do eat, I get nutrition, not paIn.)

[@patriciaconstantino4669]

The finished product looks so good 😊

[@hjcdormouse7337]

I am fascinated by pickling, preserving but only now in life seem to have time to possibly do. To protect edge of jar when putting in more chunky produce would a zip lock bag with bottom cut place in jar and zip ended folded over top of jar protect actual edge from getting messy.... Just a thought. My Auntie has awesome apple peeler device reminds me of peeling a pencil with bonus of long apple skins to dry out for a snack.... she also uses it on potatoes and again cooks skins for tasty snack x

[@olgapetrova6415]

Hi, Maggie, never heard of canned apple pie filling. In one of your previous videos it looked so good. Will definitely try to can it too.

[@Amerisis1972]

How’d ya like them apples! I needed to say it. Not sure why. I love watching canning videos. Love your videos as well. Stonkin combination!

[@callacobb7172]

I love all your videos! I also agree with the other commenters about getting the apple tool. I got one from pampered chef at least 15 years ago and it's a game changer. I had a small apple orchard (30 apple trees) at my last home. I always used my apple peels and cores to make apple juice, as well as apple cider vinegar. I also made my own pectin which was really cool to learn. Hope your finger/nail heals up quickly.

[@ilonamollema6467]

I'm so sorry that you hurt yourself. I really hope that you will recover soon so the pain will decrease. Your canning jars look very full. I've learned from Becky from @acrehomestead that you at least need to have half an inch of headspace in the jar to prevent leaking. I hope this is helpful. Saying hi from the Netherlands. 🤗 🇳🇱

[@dyskover]

yup. I've been too cavalier with my peeler too. mine took flesh, not a nail. I was peeling spuds. same device as Maggie used.

[@goopygonch]

i also recently had a potato peeler accident, peeled a large chunk of my finger off 😅 it was painful and frustrating, hope your nail grows back swiftly

[@nadinefravel2283]

Thank you for sharing, you are a natural on camera see you on the next. 🍃🌷

[@moe9265]

Oh my, I’m not sure you converted any of us to start canning…lol. Hope the nail is feeling better.

[@lesleyharris525]

Hi Maggie, sorry to see that you hurt your finger, might I suggest that you wear a glove with Leroy, I've never canned like you do, i do preserves but don't pressure/water/steam can them, but I'm in England and the book i use is from the 1970, ❤

[@kimberliecummins1444]

I write in my cookbooks. They have notes and drips all through them.

[@karenshepler7128]

Thank you for sharing and please be careful 😊looks very good 😊

[@lorikean3405]

Ouch!

[@natashaw401]

Nice canning apple 🍎

[@ke11yke11z]

I am obsessed with Halloween ❤

[@barbarafritchie2000]

They look beautiful.

[@barbarafritchie2000]

Practice before next time with a pairing knife. I’ve been using one for 60 years. Great for potatoes also.

[@jkazzie2521]

I took half my nail off with a knife chopping vegetables. I didn’t tuck my finders properly. Took on the to heal and grow the nail it.

[@LindaHolmes-ew9xq]

❤ great job! Love your videos!

[@gwoman1291]

Awe I feel so bad… I’m sure people have commented but get an apple peeler. Saves times and finger nails 😉

[@nikkiwunderlich3570]

And I want you to know that with the time it will grow back

[@nikkiwunderlich3570]

I know how you feel one time I ripped off my entire nail and it is painful

[@olgapetrova6415]

Maggie, I too cut myself with this type of peeler. Try one where blade is perpendicular to the handle, it seems more safe to me

[@melsattitude8668]

Ive got an Iliostomy and i can not eat alot of fiber. Enjoy you. I have supplies to donate but i cant afford to ship as I'm so low income.

[@elekay312]

❤❤❤

[@taigaforest..]

found your channel yesterday. Question; how do you care for the needs of dogs ? Especially the exercise they need. You're remarkable but pls tell us how to manage pups, thanks for everything (:

[@cynthiagawin2991]

I freeze my applesauce.🍎🍏🍎

[@LetsTalkIBD]

I might have to try that!

[@robinthornton8282]

The unsealed apples can be put in the freezer too.

[@taigaforest..]

[@bethbossman5812]

[@garykreitz2428]

A neighbor gave my mom some pairs one time and she made pair Jelly that's a lot of work

[@starman9921]

Sorry you hurt yourself please remember never poo and fall back in it😅 You proved how strong you are. You've had to be

[@littlemissunshine7846]

Why don't you hire somebody part-time that can help you with big projects like that

[@natashaw401]

[@dacisky]

Several years ago I was slicing a cucumber and stabbed myself and it got infected snd I had to take antibiotics,so your not the only one. Anyway,good job with the apples.

[@taigaforest..]

[@annegreenwood3624]

[@buchsdrn]

Latex allergies/sensitivities are no fun. Hard to find a good latex free Band-Aid.

[@kimlindsey5178]

The apples look delicious! And there is nothing better than a home made pie!! Sorry to hear about your finger. I have done the same thing in the past. Thank God you were not using a Mandoline slicer!!! 😖🩹🩸

[@Kattaz0309]
