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

[@deborahjordan9688]

What a precious memory and know it is still painful and raw to watch but your children will be so very happy of these precious memories and moments of their dad. ❤️🙏🏻

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

they watch these videos from time to time. :)

I don’t even like apple pie, but that looked delicious. Thank you for sharing. Blessed be!!!

Perfect timing! I’m going to work on some pie filling. BTW side note. You have the prettiest green eyes! LOL just had to say it!

[@robynmorris2408]

Heather you are so good to us, thank you so much for taking time out of your VERY busy day to make these fantastic videos, filled with so many little extra tips and tricks. You may be “just a Mom” but make that SUPER Mom. Thank you again.

you are so sweet to me 🥰

[@dianetucker2711]

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

I have to make new pie filling this year, I add a little bit of almond extract delicious.

You ARE awesome; thank you, Heather! :) Praying you and your family UP!

[@caroleunderwood953]

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.

[@dinasyoyos6384]

Glad to hear you and the kids are doing well

[@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.

[@RiverBirchFarm]

I love apple pie, now I have learned how to make my own pie filling. Thank you for sharing.

[@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!

[@kathyericson2556]

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

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Beautiful!😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@blackpackhomesteadchrisand7337]

If it is sweet and out of a jar, I am all for it. Nothing like perfect pie filling.

[@EricaD61]

Omg!! Where has this been all my life!! This is my next must try canned apple pie filling!!!😍😍😍😍

[@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!😁👏🏻👍🏻

[@julieanna5528]

This keeps popping up it makes me hungry every time!

[@gracehillgranny5445]

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

[@rhondah76]

THANK YOU Heather!!! YOU have been a BLESSING!!!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

thank you!🥰💋

[@hymaintenance1]

The pie filling looks like caramel, yum!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

it does! haha

[@overit6969]

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.

[@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.

[@loramcclamrock5549]

Watching and praying for you and your family.❤❤🤗🤗

[@Evilgamesprite]

I love adding orange zest to my apple pie filling! Thank you for the video!

[@lovetina2010]

NICE TIP

[@wandagoddard9118]

What you call "the neck", I call "the shoulder" of the jar. Lol its good to share. Great video.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

I like that! hahaha I am going to call it the shoulder now!

[@katechildofgod2596]

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.

[@hollygibson628]

There is an older jar... presto maybe? Called the "strong shoulder" jar. Its printed on the jar... one of the dome or bell shape at the top.

[@srmarieaugustine9099]

In another video, I saw the nifty hand tool that you used to remove your lids... what is it and where might we find one! Thank you in advance.

[@morganchavis1835]

@@hollygibson628 I have an old Atlas mason called "strong shoulder" .

[@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!🤣

[@sherrienickerson9524]

I've never canned pie filling. So glad I watched this. I surely would have had an explosion!

[@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.
