CANNING APPLES (No Waste!)

Описание: Hey Y'all!

Preserving my own food is one of my favorite things to do. I was blown away to receive all of these homegrown apples and I knew I couldn't let them go to waste. I made crock pot Apple Butter, Apple Sauce, and homemade apple cider vinegar with all the scraps and apple peels I had left over. I love finding new ways to make the most of what I have and stretch it as far as I can. Let me know if you would like a more in depth and step by step canning video.

CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER RECIPE:
makes eight 8-ounce jars
6lbs apples (cut in quarters)
2 cups apple cider
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsps cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves

Add all ingredients to crock pot and cook on low for 7-8 hours or overnight. blend all ingredients together and return back to crock pot. cook on high stirring every 20 mins until thick and buttery. Ladle hot butter into hot jars and process in waterbath canner for 10 minutes. Remove canner lid. Wait 5 minutes, then remove jars, cool and store.

APPLE SAUCE:
makes 8 pint jars
12lbs Apples (peeled, cored, and quartered)
water
3 cups sugar (optional)
4 tbsps lemon juice

Add all ingredients to crock pot. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 2-3 hours until apples are very soft. Mash with a potato masher for chunky apple sauce or blend for a smoother sauce. Ladle hot sauce into hot jars and process for 20 minutes. remove canner lid and wait 5 minutes. Remove jars, cool, and store.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
Apple peels or scrap pieces (no core or stems)
water
1 tbsp sugar

Add al ingredients to a jar and fill with cold water. Add sugar and stir. Top with a coffee filter and place on the counter. stir every day. If you see bubbles its working. If no bubbles appear, add more sugar. You will smell it when it turns to vinegar and the bubbles will die down. strain apple scraps from the water and store in a cool dry place.
