[@emcarver8983]

I totally agree about the juice quantities. There is never enough.

Thanks for this, we have been blessed with a bunch of apples.

[@AnnsTinyLife]

I just love your non pretentious way of explaining things!!

[@christinehbailey]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

[@Jeni_Gough]

You are so welcome! 😊

[@WillowsGarden]

Yum Jeni, I love apples, onions and pork. This will be like a meal starter, lol. Have a blessed day!!

[@janetdufresne4448]

Thank you for sharing this. I wasn't sure because it's been years since I put up apples.

[@debbiewechter9718]

Last year was my first year canning. I bought an electric Ball water bath canner. The recipe I used I did not like. Going to try yours

[@luzmiranda2288]

Thank you for sharing ,I was so glad I had the book to ,I got 2 years ago well thx

[@waimariamarsh3690]

Love your work, imma 1st time trying canning thankyou for including ideas of recipes to use them in. From new zealand

[@mikef6948]

I just did my apples following your instructions Jeni and I'm thrilled with how they turned out !!! Thank you so much for sharing your know how. ;)

[@Jeni_Gough]

Wonderful! Glad I could help! 😊

[@mjkay8660]

😘tysvm for showing how to can. i had watched a few but then they started with the pressure cooker.. no. not my line of thinking..tyvm.. this was perfect. at times the imperfection in the lid will cause siphoning.. very difficult to see at times, my dad found a rubber seal that was pitted..also when my moms green beans spoiled he knew she was diabetic and got her to doc asap. idk.. old wives tale just happened..

[@Jeni_Gough]

Yw! 😁

I have an Amazon $11 Apple wedger. :-). I live in Apple country so I have one of those peeler slicer corer gibbies! I use the wedger mainly when I want to eat an apple. Which is often in the fall.

[@BarbVirginia]

This is perfect timing Thank you Jeni 😊❤ Exactly what I want to do. We live in Apple Country in Virginia and I'm going to buy a big bushel for canning and also apples for apple butter 😊

[@nidaotero6692]

Where did you get your apple butter recipe??

[@yoginimichelleh]

I just discovered your channel, and subscribed! Your voice is so calming, compared to other channels I watch. Definitely going to try this soon, as apple pie is my family’s favorite 😋

[@Jeni_Gough]

Thank you and welcome!! 😊

[@KirstenLambert-nt8iy]

Hi Jenni, I'm also using Lemon juice in this recipe.

[@angelamckay5437]

It’s that time again,, going to simple syrup them this year..👍👍👏

[@Jeni_Gough]

Wonderful! 😊

[@Stiglmeister]

I just made this recipe yesterday, and walked away while my apples were "simmering". In actuality, they were boiling away. I canned them up anyways, but they are more like apple mush than apple slices. Yours look beautiful though! And I totally agree on there not being enough syrup! What's the deal with that, Ball?

[@mcomeslast]

Do they even try anymore?

[@KirstenLambert-nt8iy]

@@mcomeslast you can turn that into applesauce. Just mush them up more and add cinnamon if you want, sugar and whatever other ingredients you need.

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

I was given 5 bushel of apples. I have given a bushel away. Getting ready to can this recipe and going to make applebutter this weekend. I may be giving more away. Lol

[@elizabethshaw734]

It has changed Jeni. It is now anything 10 minutes or above. :-). Just like canning chicken has changed and I guess it blew right past Leisa! It is now one and one quarter inch headspace.

[@Journeytocrhist]

I just stared canning. And I need a lot to learn. Thank you for you’re video!! I’m gonna get canning!❤️❤️

[@Jeni_Gough]

You are so welcome! 😊

[@tinacostner3069]

I’m going to have to do this tomorrow. I wound up with to many apples. Thank you!!

[@Jeni_Gough]

You're welcome! 😃 Happy canning!

[@jamesfurr2407]

I do peaches but I boil 3 cups sugar 3 cups water to make the syrup and continue that till all the quart jars are full . So I wonder if that would work for apples

[@freakinfrugal5268]

Could you use apple juice instead of making syrup?

[@Jeni_Gough]

Sugar is needed to preserve. So you can use apple juice to make a light syrup. 😊

[@reneejohnson5041]

Looks great. so you did peel them?

[@Jeni_Gough]

Yes, I never can anything with a peel on it!

[@donnahunt6019]

hi going to can my second batch of apples today or tomorrow tyvm for your help but can you please tell me can I can sweet potatoes like the apples??? I do not have a pressure cooker.. ty in advance God Bless you Happy Canning hugs

[@Jeni_Gough]

Awesome! No, you cannot can sweet potatoes in the water bath, they must be pressure canned. Sorry, thay are a low acid, starchy food. Happy canning with your apples tho, your house will smell so good!!

[@donnahunt6019]

@@Jeni_Gough thank you very much. I was hoping..oh well. Look forward to seeing your next video Happy and safe Holidays

[@Jeni_Gough]

Thank you! Happy Holidays to you too 🥰

[@Joseph_Dredd]

One can jut use water and lemon juice for syrup right - absent the sugar :)

[@Jeni_Gough]

Yes, but the texture wont be as firm.

[@Joseph_Dredd]

@@Jeni_Gough Gotcha. Just looking at alternative ways to store those cooking apples for crumbles! Currently we cook / freeze (expensive over in UK - and with talk of power cuts not best) or dehydrate and vacuum seal.. Am looking at canning as third option! Freeze drier simply too expensive, both to buy,and running costs /tech problems if everything goes down means the simplest methods are the most sustainable! :)

[@freakinfrugal5268]

Can you leave the skins on??

[@Jeni_Gough]

No, peeled. Skins carry Bactria. 😊

[@Jennifer-wz9lb]

Dehydrate your apple peels I seen on another KZbin channel. Dehydrate the apple peels until dust, jar up and use on apple pies, fried apples. Many people commented with results are tasty. I don’t know personally, I’m trying different recipes myself today. Thanks for sharing your experience, I enjoyed. 💓

[@EricaD61]

Great video!!

[@Jeni_Gough]

Thanks! 😊

[@Shela100100]

I have the same problem with not having enough juice also. I wonder if it's the gas stove? Definitely going to try your recipe tonight. Thanks, I appreciate you🤘🏼

[@Jeni_Gough]

You’Re welcome! 😃

[@kaysherretts3265]

Looks great. Question though when using apples for pie or apple crisp do you drain off the juice (syrup) or just thicken that? Thanks! Can’t wait to try this. Tired of making applesauce every year do this will be a nice change.

[@Jeni_Gough]

I just use the syrup and thicken it. that way you don’t need to add any additional sugar, just spice! 😊

[@sallya4751]

Hello can any type of sugar be used? Also with the apple cider are they just simmered in it like the syrup then canned? Thank you

[@Jeni_Gough]

Yes, simmered then canned. You can use honey, granulated sugar or pure cane sugar. I don’t think stevia will or sugar substitute will work. 😊

[@carmalitayanock9584]

I always thought I'd done something wrong cause I always come short on juice.

Im windering uf theyre a bit myshy when you use them. Im out of freezer space and need to can some.

When you can them, can you leave the peels on?

[@Jeni_Gough]

No. They need to be peeled. The peels hold bacteria. 😊

[@jamesvatter5729]

I guess it's not just me seeing this problem. I always seem to have to triple their syrups or brines. I like that canning funnel!

[@witness91]

What did you add to make the pie filling

[@Jeni_Gough]

I heat them in the pan with a cornstarch slurry

[@lynntomk]

I canned 10 lbs of the slices in pint jars. I had enough liquid. I hope I didn't do something wrong I never have enough liquid either. I ended up with 11 pints and still have a small amount of liquid left. You were right, what a big old mess!

[@dawnhartwell8117]

How much lemon juice to you use in your water?

[@Jeni_Gough]

2 Tbsp since I doubled the recipe. I used Ball recipe.

[@smallspaceswithGloria]

Can you just use water and lemon juice for sugar free?

[@Jeni_Gough]

You can use less sugar but sugar in fruit is the preservative.

[@lynnecampbell923]

COULD APPLE JUICE BE USED TO SWEETEN?

[@Jeni_Gough]

Absolutely, but you would still need sugar as well to preserve.

[@kristenwahlstrom5365]

Why simmer the apples in the syrup for 5 min if you're cooking for 15/20 min in a water bath? Don't you think they would hold texture better not to add the additional cooking??

[@Jeni_Gough]

I followed the Ball recipe on this!

[@AndreasCreations]

Simmering the apples gets rid of some of their natural air pockets - cutting down on floating apples in jars.

[@janicenash8382]

Did you use any SURE JEL in your recipe???????

[@Jeni_Gough]

NO! It's not jam! It's just apples in light syrup. Ball Blue book recipe.

[@malberstadt]

can apple cider be used to make the syrup?

[@Jeni_Gough]

Absolutely! That would be fantastic!! 😃

[@Jeni_Gough]

The Grey March Hair hi there! I’m glad you and Kenny doing well! I do a lite syrup, 2 to 1 ratio. 2 cups water to 1 cup sugar. You can also do a simple syrup that is equal amounts. Hope that helps. 😊

Quarts!

Want to make this recipe and instead of sugar and water maybe add some boiled cider to flavor the broth a bit more. Should I add the boiled cider to the syrup in the pot or should I just add it to the jars? Any pitfalls you know of?

Cider is fine to use.
