Not Your Momma's Applesauce | Small Batch Canning Recipe

[@loritanner4478]

I love my electric water bath canner, I got it a year ago. I can place it next to my sink. No more lugging that water and then the full canner to pick it up and have dump it into the sink. The electric one has a spigot that empties into the sink. Love it!

I love to try out new ways of cooking. So I will be a new recipient of your channel hoping to learn more new ways of cooklng! Looking forward to watching More of your channel! Give bless.

Made my applesauce and it looks great. Used my boiled cider I made yesterday. I started canning with my Mother and Grandmother when I was 15 (that was 56 years ago) yes I am 71 years young. We have 4 acres of land and my husband has a garden and a green house. If he grows it I freeze it, dehydrate it, or can it. I have learned so much from you at this young age and love your channel. You are a sweet young lady and very gifted. Thank you for sharing you knowledge.

Vanilla in applesauce- who’d have thought? Sounds delicious!

[@gracehillgranny5445]

Old video, yes. But, I'm making your recipe tonight. I knew you'd have a recipe with a chic-è twist 😊

[@cherylperez7371]

Just canned 9 pints of this applesauce. Thank you for sharing your recipe. It’s delicious. Used your boiled cider recipe. Tomorrow is your apple slices in cinnamon vanilla syrup. Apples for the winter in my pantry.

[@ellenbritton4506]

Hello Carol! Just an FYI, I have used this video for the base of my applesauce. I also did the boiled cider. So, so delicious!! I've made several batches, and my favorite is combining the boiled cider along with some vanilla bean paste (I didn't have a vanilla bean) but the paste worked perfect. Oh, and also using some brown sugar. This is my first time ever canning applesauce. Our apple trees finally produced delicious apples this year. And....I also made (and canned) your boiled apple syrup. The apple syrup on top of buttermilk pancakes....so DELICOUS! Thank you! Ellen

[@TjTracyThomas]

The addition of vanilla sounded interesting! I hadn’t made applesauce before, just apple butter. I just put these in the canner. Smells wonderful! I had some apple cider leftover from my apple butter so I just boiled it down and added it and the brown sugar. Thanks for another jazzy recipe! I have definitely made more recipes from your channel than any others. Loving your videos here in NC! I have an oxo food mill that removes peel, seeds, etc that my husband gifted to me. Love it! Thanks Carol!!

[@chrissycosbitt2348]

OMGOSH, this is the best applesauce I have ever made! The boiled cider is the key. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I also used my boiled cider in an caramel apple cider cookie recipe. Delicious!

This is the most delicious applesauce! Love the chunkiness and that it isn't overly sweet as most are. I am so excited for the boiled cider recipe you gave as well. Have bought it to add to pies and applesauce and other baked treats and it's expensive so....that's where I'm headed next on your site. Thank you so very much for sharing this....remember to breathe! 🍎🍏💞♥

[@blendedwithmadonnadevlin6520]

I made apple sauce today. We have a small tree in our yard. I had enough Macintosh apples to fill 2 crockpots! I’m going to have to gets some vanilla beans! I would have loved to add 1 to my applesauce. My nana use to put vanilla in her applesauce. Delicious!

[@florence775]

Got a Steam Canner a few months ago, haven’t used it yet, but plan on it. Love apple sauce and Apple butter.

[@rhondatalley518]

Just did this but no boiled cider. Used apple juice instead of water. Vanilla bean and chunky so nice. Thank you.

[@tattoofthesun]

You remind me of my fiance because you tell me essential instructions and details in between also making casual conversation which challenges me to pay absolute attention or else I’m missing something. My fiancè likes to tell a long work story and throw plans and dates and times in there which ill forget

[@ljm9092]

Carol, I was wondering, have you thought about coming out with a Recipe Book Of your own ? Hmmm just wondering. I Love how you explain everything right down to the last detail. Your applesauce looks better than I have ever seen. It actually Looked Scrumptious !! Have a Wonderful week !!! :)

[@lindahughes8611]

Wow! Vanilla bean! I never thought of that but now YES! Thanks:)

Pressed cider with some friends and ended up with 11 gallons so definitely going to make some of the boiled cider and this apple sauce. Love the jars, have to look for them. Please do the apple pie, always fun to see new recipes.

Gurl.... I haven't waterbath canned since I got my Victorio . I love it too!! I have those jars as well. Applesauce looks so pretty in those jars.

[@trilady66]

Just found your KZbin videos. I absolutely love them. So much good information and recipes. Thought I’d tell you about a much easier way to get your apples ready to cook. I have an apple strainer and all you have to do is wash the apples and cut them into quarters. Then put them into the pot to cook. You don’t need to peel them, core them or even take the stems out. Easy Peezy.

[@trilady66]

Sorry I didn’t finish my comment before I told you what this amazing piece of equipment is. It’s called a Wear-Ever #462 aluminum strainer. It comes with a wooden pestle. I got mine from my mother-in-law. Such a time saver! You can find it on eBay. It’s a vintage item.

I appreciate your doing this video....another good one. Would you consider doing a video on those things that you love and will always can and those things that you would not can again. I have seen other canners do a program like that. I would be interested in hearing how you use what you canned for meals or baked items. One of my best memories from years past is a trip to Vermont in October. We stopped at an apple orchard by the side of the road. The weather was cool and crisp, but not cold. We drank hot apple cider and enjoyed a visit with the barn cat. Thanks for helping me to remember that time. Jo Ann from Mississippi

Do you have to boil the jars every time you use them ? Cause I am not too familiar with it. I have done it couple of times but always wondered if I already boiled the once do I have to do it every time. I have done it with new jars but I mean if I reuse the jars.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Alex Jhope you only need to boil or sterilize jars if your canning processing time is less than 10 minutes

[@alejandrajhope649]

Carol - Thrifty Chic Housewife I’m sorry...I don’t get what that means. I apologize I’m new to this process. 🙏

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Alex Jhope no worries... processing time refers to the recommended canning time. If you what you are canning takes 10 minutes or more you do not have to boil your jars to sterilize them before using them. They are considered sterilized during the canning process. If a recipe calls for a canning time under 10 minutes you must sterilize your jars first by boiling them for 10 minutes before using them. Does that make sense?

[@seabliss22]

What do you mean by covering the jar for water bath? Do you mean the jar is submerged with the lid under water? Or do you mean that the jar from the bottom up should be two inches?

When water bath canning there must be 1-2” of water above and fully covering your jars

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]
