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.

Your children will have sweet memories of doing things with their father forever and they will be precious and priceless to them. Such a gift to them.

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.

[@anderssvensk4317]

@@jeffreycoulter4095 sorry to hear but they'll grow old to if the good Lord bless them and let them live. They'll value the old way's with gratitude once they mature. Maybe you will be there or maybe you be in a better place. Anyhow now you are blessing them which they never forget. God bless you 🕆 oldtimer and may His light shine upon you and give you peace.

[@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!!!

[@torbjornahman]

Great memories!! Thanks

[@ryPish]

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

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.

[@hunterwaites1992]

Do more of this type stuff. Really enjoyed it! Never seen the wax thing before. That looks like the best applesauce in the world.

What I always like about his projects is that they always seem to have that nice little touch at the end (like the wrapping and twine on the lid).

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

That was awesome! I love when kids get involved! I used to help my dad and grandpa make wine and tomato sauce. They are great memories! Your children will remember this and cherish the memories forever! ❤️

It's great to see you do things with your family.

[@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

[@richardbryant7972]

Brings back so many memories from my childhood, I loved making applesauce every year and canning everything we could from the garden. Thank you for sharing so very much.

There's nothing like homemade applesauce!!! I think it was really neat that you had your kids helping you. A great way to pass on the tradition!!

This is very calming to me. I love your channel! Love seeing you with your children creating memories that will stay with them a lifetime. My wife does a lot of canning and she uses a canning funnel to put what she’s making in the jars. Works great. I’m so glad I found this channel! Best heartfelt wishes to you and your family. Yours truly, Robert.

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? : )

[@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.

Somebody is getting quite the head start on Christmas gifts this year. Very nice.

[@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.

[@Furree_68]

In Poland I do this with my family every year! Except that we don't use sodium benzoate. After boiling the apple sauce for some time, they are not likely to rot in the jar. Greetings!

[@OldHickoryForge]

Will the wax make the applesauce keep indefinitely kind of like canning would? Never seen it done that way that’s pretty interesting

[@hugoarcada]

It was safe at the time it was originally canned, until that seal is broken there should be nothing else happening to make it unsafe. Some minor deteriorating, but if stored properly, we are talking centuries.

[@torbjornahman]

It will be ok for several years.

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.]
