I just quarter my apples, and cook them, and then run them through the Victorio strainer. It takes out the seeds and any other hard parts, and then you can use all the apple around the core. Much faster too, than running it through the apple corer/slicer/peeler.

@TheSeasonalHomestead Жыл бұрын

I love that you use the whole apple! I've always worried about the seeds clogging it up. That happened to me with the grapes before I bought the special grape spiral. Once I got that I had no problems. Do the apple seeds go through easily?

No, not too full, just follow what the recipe says! I did mine a little lower for soups they often say a "generous inch", so I do inch and a half on the soups because of the high fat in the meat. The National Center for Home Food Preservation says this is OK to do.

To use your induction stove you could possibly use a disc of about 1/8” thick sheet steel cut to the diameter of the bottom of your aluminum pressure to place underneath it. You can also use scraps of the same thickness sheet steel laid out underneath it, this can make it easier to handle and more economical. Be sure to debut the steel.

Your steam juicer can also be a game changer for making applesauce. Wash your apples, remove any stems, quarter, remove any bad spots, don't peel or core. Just fill your steamer basket all the way upand put the lid on. crank up the heat. As soon an the apples start to soften, just before the juice starts to run, turn off the heat. I like to let it cool for a little while before putting it through my Sqieezo Strainer, which is much like the strainer you used on your grapes. I usually put the apple pulp through twice. Some people let the juice run out before they strain, but I find it robs the sauce of flavor. I usually can in pints now that the kids are all grown. Then waterbath for 15 min. I hope you find this an easier way.

It’s called a fruit steamer, you get it from Amazon and you never have to fill a giant pot of water to water bath jam or anything else as long as you live. I will never ever water bath can again for the rest of my natural born life. Game changer. You guys need two. Trust me, even though I’m a stranger.😊

That steamer pot really does look handy. We don't do juices yet, but when we do this will have to be on the list. I think I need the food mill first. Pressing tomatoes through a strainer for sauce is really annoying. Everything looks so good. I might have to try some of these. So far, I have been an ingredient canner, so just chicken or just stew meat. I can mix in a couple of jars to get a meal and not worry about the vegetables being over processed with the meat. We got some pizzazz apples one year and they made an amazing applesauce. Highly recommend the variety.

I have to say great job on all that canning! I tried pressure canning (pumpkin) about a month ago and it was a big fail 🙃 I don't think I blanched it correctly, because it became mushy and then there was a pumpkin color to the canning water so it somehow leaked from the jars. The water level seemed low in all the jars afterward. I also pinched a jar lifting it out and air started escaping which scared me. I ended up feeding it all to the chickens. I could have freezed it but after processing it for 90 min it didn't even resemble the beautiful pumpkin I started with (a candy roaster squash) and since I still have a few I grew I decided to just use it fresh. But holy cow, the time it takes for all that, prepping jars, peeling squash, monitoring the canner to make sure it stays at the correct lbs and most of all destroying my kitchen 😂 I am going to seriously contemplate whether or not I need to can or freeze my produce.
