So proud of you! It's ok to cry on camera. I lost my son last June 2020. I will remember to pray for you when I am missing my son. Praise is a weapon. Listen to Hope Darst. When I feel really sad I start thanking God for the time I had with my son. Thanking God for chosing me to be his mom. Thanking God that Aaron is in heaven with Him. I do love your channel. Prayers for you and your family.

[@indianoutlaw9647]

Know how you feel. God gave me the strength to get through it. Still miss him. That was 27yrs. ago. He would've been 52.

[@Mink_Tracks]

Im so sorry for your loss. God is good and he hears our pain. He gives us the tools and hope to get through lifes hardships. Blessings to you.

[@theonewhomjesusloves7360]

When did she cry in this video??

[@klmedic222]

I lost my son also. 33 yrs old with two beautiful daughters. But GOD, gave me such a beautiful testimony that I have been able to tell it on live radio and in churches across my state. I teach CPR classes and many people want me to tell it to them. Which takes about 10 good minutes. I love God! I love canning. This helped me so much cause today I am going to can apple filling. I have a Harvest steam canner I seen used in other videos, how about that, is that a good way to do filling?

[@VeronicasVeil333]

Beautiful words. I, too, lost my son by suicide after his baby boy, our only grandson died. Chris was in the military. I agree - praise is powerful - even though it took me a long time……….Blessings, hugs, love to all……….

I never thought about leaving more headspace in the jar. Thanks for the tip.

[@AutumnPaigeHarris]

Same! So glad I watched. You’re in my prayer journal, Heather. ❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼 I just canned filling tonight and it oozed out under the lids when it was finished. I got online to try to figure out what I did wrong or how to re-can them if needed, and found your video! So, I’m thinking my jars sealed and are okay, despite the oozed out filling, since the tops are all concave and they’re stuck on firm. We’ll see

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

The headspace rule because of expanding filling is super helpful

[@dianetucker2711]

Would love and appreciate a video on your Apple pie & Apple Crisp. Also a video on your Applesauce. Beautiful pie filling ❣️🥰

[@joanhenschel3511]

I enjoy your videos so much, I'm learning a lot.

[@kathybradley9873]

Watching this at 8am, you're making me so hungry. LOL Just had an idea. I like my apples sliced thinly for pies and they probably wouldn't hold up very well during canning. So was thinking of doing the sauce part and canning it in pint jars. Then when wanting an apple pie just slice up the apples and pour a jar of the sauce over them. Pour into pie shell, top and bake.

[@dinasyoyos6384]

Glad to hear you and the kids are doing well

[@moondogartcamp]

God bless you and your sweet family dear sister. Praying for a speedy recovery!

I love the tip about the fill line in the jar. Simply beautiful!

[@nelliefarr1540]

how much apples did you use for this canning and after the apples were in the water how long did you cook it with the sauce in the sauce mixture before you bottled or was it raw.

[@kathyericson2556]

Made my first canned apple pie filling today after watching your video Heather. Only had 1 jar bubble out some filling.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Beautiful!😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@terrakocis6555]

Recently I ordered clear jel online. I thought I was getting cook type but it was instant. So I canned without the clear jel and we made a pie adding the clear jel to the filling just before baking and it was fine as rain. This could be an option for those having problems with the clear jel. Bonus I have a thickener on hand at all times

[@puggirl415]

Thanks for this comment. I've made apple pie filling without any thickener and then added tapioca or cornstarch later and it came out great! I guess I feel that I might use the filling for other recipes like cake or applesauce and don't want the thickener to get in the way.

[@HeyHeyAlabama]

Thanks for mentioning that. I looked up clear jel, but then she said cook type. I see they are different things now.

[@faukerconsulting835]

💁🏻‍♀️Thanks for expanding my talents in the kitchen...☝🏻I started making fried apples (with a couple of anjou pears that needed consumed one way or another) to make your apple cinnamon rolls and I ended up making caramel apple filling (caramel because the sauce is dark and rich due to the unsalted butter and dark brown sugar clinging to the cooked apples)😂...🤔if it weren't so perfect and delicious for cinnamon rolls, I would most likely make an apple crisp or even a pie🥧

[@7459serenity]

You are so precious. No one explain things so good to new canners like myself. Thanks for sharing and especially giving of your time free of charge. Bless you!

[@janewalkerhall4311]

[@Lyaworski123]

I just canned Apple pie filling and followed your recommendations with the added amounts. I also followed your advice of putting the filling at the curve of the jar and it was perfect! No oozing! Thank you!

[@jpharmon557]

Did I miss something? What is the vinegar for? Great advice on filling jar!

[@Lyaworski123]

@@jpharmon557 I don’t use vinegar I use lemon

[@dianeharrell817]

The vinegar is for wiping the jar rims to remove any sticky residue, and the lemon juice goes in the pie filling… don’t reverse them!🤣

[@unkajerl8244]

I am a beginner canner. Your videos are just what I was looking for. My first canning project was with this recipe and process. I learned a lot, and all my jars sealed . I was able to extend the recipe to fill 9 quart jars. It was a family effort as I just got out of the hospital with neck surgery. We all enjoy being in the kitchen together. My mom and sister went home with a jar of pie filling. There was enough left over for a pie to enjoy that evening. Thanks for all your hard work. You have inspired me.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

God Bless, Unka and I pray for a quick recovery for you! Happy Canning and WAY TO GO!😁👏🏻👍🏻

[@gracehillgranny5445]

I've never canned pie filling. Now I'm tempted to try.

[@lindaatkins3481]

I've made pie filling for years but I've never heard of or seen the clear jel before. I have always used the cornstarch. The jell looks better and thicker consistency.

[@Bunefoo401]

I’ve had a bunch of honey crisps for a couple 9f weeks, and wanted to get them can some pie filling. Went through about 5-6 before yours popped up, and it was THE one! I should have known to check your channel, having seen many of your other videos. Well, 7 sealed jars of pie filling later 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I went just to the shoulder of the jar like you said, and you were SOO right about the expansion. No oozing, and all sealed great. Thank you for sharing ❤❤

[@christybateman3]

I am fixing to make more apple pie filling because we are completely out. My family loves it so got to make some more. I also got my recipe from the Amish book like yours I love that book, but thanks on saying that you round up this will really help.

[@tammywhite9229]

Boy I wish I had seen this this morning when I canned strawberry filling. It expanded and didn’t seal. One jar popped the lid off. I resealed it and took some out and reprocessed it. I hope it seals. Love your channel.

Beautiful End product!! What a great gift idea too!!

[@yheitman4562]

Last November I followed your instructions and canned six quart jars of pie filling without a hitch. Problem was my daughters saw my jars and took off with two of them! I will be canning again in the next few days as the gala apples are currently at 77 cents lb. I'll use 3/4 galas and 1/4 Granny Smith. Thank you for making it so easy!!

[@Jomama02]

Hi Heather, thankfully I have never had a issue with siphoning and I do fill the jars up to the 1" headspace mark. I think the difference is that I cut my apples smaller. Say like one of your slices I would cut into 3rds. More of a chunk than a slice. I mainly wanted mine for apple crisp and my husband loves the apples over ice cream so bite size. I don't know if that's the difference or if I've just gotten lucky so far. LOL. This year I believe I'm just going to can up slices or chunks in a light syrup or just water instead of pie filling. With just the two of us now, I rarely make a pie. Can't wait to see you do pumpkin. Have a great weekend!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

i did that with my canned pears this year. that way i can use them in different applications.

I came to say the same thing! Neck, shoulder and body of the jar. I'm glad canning season is winding down!! I told my hubby after today the rest of the tomatoes get bagged and set on the curb as free! It's been a bountiful year by God's grace we have plenty.

As for this video, you're saving my butt! LOL. I'm in my fifties, been canning since I was 20. Can you believe I've never canned pie filling?

Thankfully, I found this last year and ordered the Amish Canning Cookbook and have it on hand now that I'm going to attempt this pie filling!
