Isn’t applesauce one of the four basic food groups?! We love it and always have lots of jars of home canned applesauce on our shelves. You can make it with any variety of apples and spice it up according to your taste. It is a great addition to meals in summer, winter, spring or fall. The process is straight-forward and it is a high-acid food, so you can it using the water bath method.

My neighbor has a yellow apple tree that wastes every yr and I asked if I could pick some. I had to cut out alot of worm holes and I just put the good flesh thru blend with peels and cooked them- apple pectin is in peels I hear- so I dont peel them. Hoping to can these….free fruit yay.
My dad rigged up a swamp cooler motor and a belt and wheel that can be hooked up to the Victorio strainer. You just flip a switch and it runs by itself nice and fast! He made one for my mom years ago and I asked for one for a Christmas one year. I’ve done from 100-200 quarts of applesauce at a time and this makes it a breeze!
First of all, I love your videos! You are always so informative. Thank you.
Do you have a video of you canning apple butter? I've searched, but came up empty handed.
Tfs! Please stay safe and sending hugs to you both 💜🙏🤗
Awesome tutorial as always. Thank you so much.❌⭕️🙏🏽♥️
do you have the name of that meter and where to get it please>
Mom died young and grandma canned froze and did all she could. We did not like gardening canning but at 61 today I am so blessed she made us help😀
Would it be ok to just can the applesauce and then season when you put in your bowl? Does the sugar preserve or just flavor? I was thinking if I just can then I could add honey to the bowls!
I get it.. GRANNY SMITH.. but I just about rolled to the floor with all that sugar you added 😵😵 thank you so much for sharing this video I love y'all 💗
First year for me to water bath can applesauce so appreciate the demo. Last year I put them in tiny jars and froze them and also freezer-bagged apple slices with brown sugar and cinnamon for pies. Think I will like the canning method best as it saves on freezer space. My apples are a little tart too since I can't wait to let them ripen until super red as the crows get at them. I appreciate the reminder that some years the yield will not be that great. I thought I was doing something wrong and even bought some fruit tree fertilizer spikes for next year's apples, cherries, and plums. One year I was overwhelmed since all the trees produced an excessive amount and lately not so great. This year the apples are bigger, so water bath canning as per your instructions. Thanks!
Hi, I have a question about canning apple sauce. I did a small batch today. I made six jars but could fit five in the Nesco/Carey canner. The one that didn't fit looks like normal applesauce, and the five that I pressure canned according to the USDS canning guide are pink. Is that normal? 🤔
For me it is much easier to use my instant pot. I do not peel my apples, only core them and remove any bad parts. Cook in instant pot for 20 minutes with a bit of apple juice, then put in my vitamix and blend. Makes delicious applesauce with little effort.
Lol oh no cumin 🙈
I found a good price for a bushel of mixed apples for $15
Can’t beat the price. We canned 16 pints of apple butter and 16 pints of applesauce. Turned out great. Have you ever made apple butter?
We use different types of apples mixed and don’t have to add much if any sugar. We buy utility apples from the farm stand. Kind of like scratch and dent.
how long do you store your applesauce tanks for this video
Wonderful video. I have the same juicer, probably 40 years old and still going strong. I don’t compost the waste, skins, core and seeds. I use it to make wonderful clear apple jelly. The trick to getting clear jelly is not to force or squeeze the juice from the skins through cheesecloth. Just let the juice drip naturally by gravity into a bowl. 👍👍
Do you find it common for canned apple sauce to have air pockets?
Did you add any lemon juice?
Perfect video on how to can applesauce. This will be my first time canning applesauce. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us.
