I neglected to mention the time for the canner, which, for us at 3200’ is 20 minutes. Sorry about that!

Yes!!! Heat it up and put some cinnamon and sugar off in it!!! I can just eat it like that, but will also serve it hot with some hot buttermilk biscuits, some folks don't realize how good that is until they visit my table. I've offered to buy apples, pears, peaches, plums and cherries from folks that don't harvest them themselves. Some will say get what you want, but I've had several folks pay me to come back and get as many as I can because they attract all kinds of critters and they just don't have the time to pick them or clean up what's on the ground, it was what was left on the ground that I fed to the chickens. Haven't seen a black bear around here since the 1970s, but raccoons, possums, even skunks come looking for sweet treats and if they find enough they'll hang out for a long while or actually set up housekeeping nearby. When I was a youngun, folks would make enemies by stealing apples from other folks' property, so I'd always ask for permission to steal some, and besides getting a laugh out of 'em for asking permission to steal from them, would usually get the go ahead to get as many as I wanted. Around here, it wasn't just apples and such that some folks left to rot, but walnuts and pecans were left on the ground too. Couldn't guess at how many bushels of pecans and walnuts I collected from folks that would rather pay for store bought nuts that somebody else had shelled, or berries that somebody else had picked. But most folks around here wouldn't allow rich folks on their property to collect free food, but if you were poor you could get all you want, just don't touch the ginseng. Had several bosses when I was growing up that would ask if I liked blueberries or blackberries, then would have me come pick a ton of 'em at no charge, but if I ever brought anybody else with me, they'd charge them by the bucket. I started collecting walnuts and pecans from public lands when I was small, got permission, and by the time I did a bunch of them had rotted, but still ended up with more than I had before that. The funny thing was, some folks seen me with potato sacks full of nuts I had collected and asked why I didn't come to get them off their land. Never understood why so many folks would let so much food go to waste. But I sure enjoyed what they didn't care for.

Made me hungry, looks great! (Kansas USA )

This makes me miss big canning days with my mom. When I lived closer to home in Alabama, around the middle of summer my mom and I would spend a couple of days making jam. My parents have a nice sized thornless blackberry patch and a large fig tree plus they live near a u-pick blueberry farm, so we usually made quite a bit of fig preserves, blackberry jam, and blueberry jam. Usually they have so many figs, and make so much fig preserves, that pretty much everyone they know ends up with a jar of it. It’s pretty excellent stuff and we’ve perfected the recipe over the years so everybody loves it. (I also have an arsenal of favorite fig baking recipes because they get so many. Fig bread, which is like banana bread but with figs, is one of our favorites.)

you do yours very much like my mom used to do ours. she used a food mill also and i remember helping by turning the mill. i got pretty good at it too. i would have been 7 yrs old or younger. thankfully i can still make it cause i am a good cook too

There’s a crabapple tree in the middle of my town that has delicious fruit. Gather some every fall.🍎

When I lived in upper peninsula of Michigan we had apple trees. The size of the apples were the same as yours. I miss apple trees!! 4 years ago, when we moved into our farmhouse in Oklahoma and planted several fruit trees. 2 were apple trees, both ended up dying 😒. We need to plant more trees!!!

Thank you for this video! I got (Italian) food mill and it is now breeze to process large quantities apples into apple sauce. I used to peel and core until I saw your video what changed my life!Thank YOU!

I enjoy every single video you share with us!! Thank you ❤️

So cool! Can't wait to see the next videos!

Had to live again since I want to make applesauce too. Cant wait til you make the crab apple fruit leather.

Nice. Love it.

We love applesauce as well! I just finished 40 lbs of honeycrisp and gala mixed. They were "seconds" from a nearby orchard for only .30 lb. I am picking up another 45 lbs tomorrow. I will dry apples and make another canner of applesauce. So fortunate to have all this bounty to put up for winter. Stay well. Nice to see all your videos again.

Thanks for the video 💗💗

Consider making canned spiced crab apples, as a nice accompaniment to your cheese plates!

Great video of safe canning. Thank you💥

Loved the video! Harvesting videos pleaseeee 💚

I love the Fall and all the cozy foods. We are almost apple picking here and usually try to do at least one batch. I love that strainer mill. I always peel and core and that part is a bit discouraging so I am going to try to find one. Thank you Chelsea loved this and looking forward to the crab apple leather!

Good job. I like your apple cranker thing.

Good instructional video and I grew up with Crabapple butter. Never had jelly but I bet I would like it.

Very good video, as are all of yours 💗 I've been trying to preserve as many of the apples from our 9 trees as possible, but this year was an insanely good year in NS for apples, and along with the gardens, and caring for my family of 8 including a baby, I'm not able to get to nearly enough for my liking. It makes me sad to see all the free food going to waste, and we can't seem to even give away enough either! A food mill would have been a huge time saver! I'll definitely keep it in my wish list for the next good apple year (as apparently the apples do really well every 2nd year here).

Homemade apple sauce is so good! We just picked apples from a friend's tree yesterday and plan to make apple sauce with them all. 😀

excellent as usual! what a great Mom you are! God bless you and your dear family! hope the nice fall weather continues!

Crab apple leather!! That would be fantastic! Love your content:)..from a few hours north of you, ta.

Always enjoy ur videos!! Very entertaining and informative!!

Great tips. Will try this using my food mill. Cooler temperatures here in Ontario too.

That’s a great video, the jars look awesome 👏. I have just been given some apples, nowhere near as many as yours. But I shall have ago, thanks for sharing 🍏🍎🍏🍎 👍😎

Mmmm homemade applesauce is fall harvest in a jar- SO good. Thanks for the food mill tip but I think yours must work way better than mine 😜.

love your videos 💞 BLESSINGS

My aunts new dishwasher has a steam function that heats up the jars perfectly for canning.

I can food ALL the time and have super hard water so all of my jars have that white residue I have to clean off and never heard about the vi gear trick. I’m so excited to try this!

It’s great that you can yummy applesauce for your family to have during your long winters. I can applesauce from our apples as well, but I use a Victoria strainer, I think it goes much faster, but it does make a bigger mess. I keep my jars in the canner to stay hot. I don’t fill my jars quite that full, I’ve had them run over on me and not seal. And I wash my jars after I take the rings off, when they’re all cooled down. Just a few minor differences, but I love it that you share your canning with us!

It's been quite the summer in Canada. So hot and dry in much of the west. That applesauce looks great. When you have an abundance of something, you can put it to good use this way. It's unfortunate for me that I can't consume apples and chocolate. Cheers!

I love apple sauce too. Our big apple tree supplied us with a nice bounty this year and before the bears found them. I had forgotten about my food mill. I have one in my cold room but totally forgot about it til this video....hahahahaha. There is something very comforting about using a manual food mill. Even though this time of year is very busy...i love doing it my hand. Great video Chelsea. Enjoy these fall days

U should check out a Victorio strainer. If u ever use one u might wonder how u did with out it. It’s used the same way as the one your using but so much faster The sauce goes one way and peels skins go another. U can get diff screens for fruits and vegetables. It was a life saver IMO.

I had a mill like that but I bought a too cheap one that came from China. It did not work for the tomatoes so I bought a passata machine. Do you think I could use it for applesauce too? When I make apple sauce I peel and core them normally. I am harvesting apples and pears, figs and grapes from my new farm in Portugal, so I am making a lot of juice and preserves.

Do you have sand plums in your area? Sandy areas…my favorite jelly!

I just discovered your channel and really appreciate all your knowledge. Can I ask, please, would it not be necessary to add lemon juice to the apple sauce to prevent the apples from going brown?

Wow! This looks and sound appetizing! Thank you for a great tutorial! I have a question (yes. I know. Me AGAIN! Sorry! I just discovered your channel). Where I live, there are literally crab apple/apples "gone wild" trees everywhere! So, will any crab/wild apples "do"? Most are red in color but vary in sizes, eg; from black cherry like size -deep red, to plum size (2" oblong) almost black red, to the ones you have shown in this video : semi green on one side to red like Macintosh on the other side. Right now...those apples are everywhere and we live in a bear country (love to see them regardless) . Thank you :-)

Do you make crabapple jelly and or jams.

Do you have to add sugar or is it safe to make it unsweetened?

9:35 "..set your timer once it comes to a boil." Yes. But. For how long?
