One tip my nana taught me was if you don’t have a full canner is to fill extra jars with water so it’s full up and the jars cannot move around in the canner …the only time she had broken jars is if her canner wasn’t full ..although jars can obviously crack from trauma they get before they even arrive to the consumer or from getting knocked about in the sink etc ..

I have been canning for years and I have had bottoms break out of my jars occasionally too, usually faulty jar. You are doing GREAT & getting a lot done! ♥️😉

@DianePahl Жыл бұрын

As someone commented below, it all depends on the variety and how the apple season went. Up here in the north I've noticed the apples are much smaller than other years - probably because of the lack of rain we had. I noticed the same with the tomatoes I purchased. Basically, it's a crapshoot from year to year. Next year, keep an eye on the summer weather and rain quantities where the apples are grown and you may get a better idea of how many to purchase. My motto has always been, overbuy, lol.

By the time you peel and core, and cook down you only end up with about 2/3s of a bushel. I never cooked my apples, I ground them loaded the jars and pressure canned them like my grandmother taught me. She never had a problem with spoiled or grainy applesauce. Pear honey, pear butter, and pear halves in natural syrup is always a hit with our family.

Ive been making bulk applesauce for about 10 years and the approved methods dont ever seem to yield what they say! 1 bushel usually yields 7 qaurts of pie filling. 1/2 bushel gives about 5 quarts dehydrated apple chips. And for apple butter you might as well not measure🤣. I think the peel and core to jelly ratio is about right. Hope this helps a bit!

Your apple peeler also over peels your apples. Using a paring knife is tedious but saves far more apple. ( I have a manual peeler/slicer and do not use it because of the apple loss. Interestingly, you can keep the peels, as you know, and use a food mill when applesauce is done. I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. It's short time prep vs more applesauce per apple. You are processing a huge amt so you choose which method works for you. I use the food mill but it does need cleaning often. I'd never use my method for the amount of applesauce you process. Whatever method it sure tastes good in ugly January.

@terryhenderson424 Жыл бұрын

Growing up, we made this amount of apple sauce in a MUCH smaller kitchen but used a manual crank, Foley food mill. We removed seeds, stems, and bad spots thus cooking quartered apples with cores and peels. Back cranking the manual food mill raised the pulp from screen mesh. You could usually add apples again before having to stop and actually remove the pulp. In watching the videos with Kitchen Aides, the Kitchen Aides seem to take more work than the manual food mills. The apple sauce was browner, thicker, less naturally sweet (which could have been related to the apples), and perfect for cooking down into apple butter rather than canning right up.

Hi Jamerrill 👋 it's 3am here in the UK and 9 months since you published this video so I'm really too tired to read comments but The Texas Mom on The Texas Boys had a whole apple sauce drama over separation in the jars so she binned it all! So silly, in my ignorant opinion, but she said the Ball recipe was for pints and not recommended for quartz so your maths is right for pint size jars. 😊 I hope you already found the answer or this helps as we're back, in apple season again for this year.

Great job canning give yourself a oat on the back. You deserve it. The ratio between fruits and veggies and processing can be mind boggling. 😳 I've canned, dried, froze, pickled, and jammed about everything in my preservation journey. One thing I didn't particularly enjoy canning was butter beans/Lima was you could have a bushel basket full and by the time you shelled them you only had a tea cup full of beans. 🙄 lol Possible exaggeration here. But the ratio is frustrating. I finally started freezing them instead of canning and we enjoyed them better frozen. Spent less time canning too. As you move through your own canning journey you will adjust to your own preferences. Sometimes there is more waste in some bushels as opposed to others due to spoiled fruits or veggies. One thing is for sure whatever you process it always looks so pretty canned and tastes so much better than what you buy in the stores. Have a great weekend Jamerill.

Also, 1 bushel of apples makes 20 pints of raw apple sause. For raw apple sauce, they use the peels too. I noticed that you are using mostly quart jars for canning your apple sauce. So one bushel of raw apples will make 10 quarts of raw apple sauce, so also if you cook the apples down, they will take up less space, and as a result, you will also get fewer quarts as well, because you cooked your apples.

Short term canning storage is a wonderful ideal. I myself had a beautiful cabinet made and the beauty of my cabinet it’sI also can be closed with the barn doors if needed sometimes the canning jars can get pretty dusting where I live

You probably got this comment many, many times but if you had a Victorio/Squeezo type food mill you would get more yield from your apples. When I use mine (not that brand name but a good knock-off) I run the pulp through the hopper twice and get the maximum amount out of the cooked fruit or veggies. And the best part is you only need to wash and chop the fruit...the food mill takes out the peels and seeds for you and you can still feed the final 'waste' product to your animals to become bacon or eggs. You are doing such an awesome job providing healthy, home processed food for your family Jamerrill. It is a lot of hard work but really worth it.

Love how ur Mega Mama Kitchen is serving u Jamerill... U were made for each other. 💕U are so inspiring executing all the farm life tasks and keeping it real always. I just started my Canning journey ... On a much smaller scale though and I'm loving it. Growing up my mom and dad would boil fruit wedges and slices in simple syrup, pears and peaches being our favorites ...apples later joined the top three... Lol. In South Africa we call them stewed fruit before they are canned...they were never lasted longer than a few weeks...too yummy. Seeing Travis prepping those apples and the way ur kiddos jump in to assist really took me back to my childhood kitchen...thank u for sharing ur life😘❤🇿🇦

I purchased a bushel of winesap apples this year for canning. From that bushel, I got 10 quarts of applesauce and a gallon jar of dried apples. After gifting/eating about a dozen apples fresh. So variety and size of the apples are key. Im not partial to any variety of apples for sauce, I just buy the largest ones they have. I don't have any fancy equipment for processing my apples so I peeled, cored, and cut up all my apples by hand.

I agree with other commenters that the yields are always off from NCFHFP along with the fact that you didn’t use sugar ( I don’t either) which bulks it up. Also, they’re assuming you’re using a food mill or Victorio strainer which would increase your yield. When you use a food strainer, the peels and cores all go through it and the waste is significantly less - producing a higher yield. These are the things we learn when canning! We do what we know to do at the time we know to do it. Your Kitchen Aid attachment is amazing for things like pie filling or canning sliced apples.

Hi Jamerill, My mom didn't peel the apples, she would quarter the apples, cut out the core and she threw the apples in that way. She liked the extra vitamins that were in the skins and the beautiful pink color. She would put the cooked apples into a colander and stir till all that was left were skins. It was sooooooo good! She liked Courtland apples. I used any and all apples mostly bc they needed to get used and easy peasy addition to dinner and my house smelled so good and tummies were filled. I wish I could do some myself. Tfs

Jamerill, you are an inspiration to women everywhere! No matter what barriers pop up, you face them head on and keep plugging away until a resolution is achieved. Thank you for being such a fine role model for women in this day and age. I know it can't possibly be as easy as you make it seem. Your upbeat spirit shines through, and your guardian angel must be working overtime! Thank you for being you!

Definitely some mega momma wisdom preserving all different ways. It is labour intensive but it gives a bit of food security, the assurance that you know exactly what you're feeding your family plus you're locking in today's prices before they get even higher x

Beautiful beautiful job with this! I think the variable here is the apple size. The usable flesh is what gives you that jar yield. This is amazing. So much admiration for you all❤️😍

Isn't food preservation great? I love knowing that my family will have food and beverages to get through just about anything. My family is not as large as yours, but it's still mouths to worry about. I know this time of the year can be overwhelming with everything coming in almost the same time. And every year I think I have enough cases of jars. However each year, I always add another dozen cases on top of what I already have. Thank goodness for the dehydrator, freeze dryer and mylar bags. 🙂 Thank you for showing us all that even with large families, preps can be done.

I used to make my own spices and still can if I want too but as kids get older and each have their own family, there is no need for me to do so now. I used to make for the whole year too. I still however blanched and freeze any veggies from our own harvest as well as share with friends and neighbours. Never canned but have made bottled hot condiment sauce to put on rice dishes etc, but only a few and these go in refrigerator for immediate use.

Have you thought about buying an Amish water bath canner like 1870 Farmhouse uses ……it holds a large amount of jars which would cut down time for you. I’d search it out because Rachel said Lehman’s price is high.

Hi, I'm new here but I was experiencing the same thing. I think it's because we are cooking it thicker than is recommended. If it was thinned with water we'd get more! 💕
