I was cleaning out storage today and I found two unopened mason jars of applesauce that I made and canned fresh several years ago (no less than three years but no more than five). The jars are still in their sealed, un-popped state, and there's no visible mold (high-sugar recipe). Do we think they're still good? Is there a way to tell for sure?

    These are not safe. The recipe you linked includes cornstarch which is not safe for home canning. It is also not a canning recipe at all nor from a safe tested resource. You need to use safe sources

    Also they look like they were stored with the rings on which can conceal a false seal
