Thank you for demonstrating how to operate the food mill and clear out the blockage and use the canning pot with the rings for the size jars you were using. God has gifted you with teaching (& video making/editing); thank you for your videos!
@vsheavenly68 I had that same problem when the jars were on top of the towel. I found a canner rack steam plate that I keep in my canner so the jars are up off the bottom while processing. I found mine at our Amish store, but I just looked and you can order them online.😊
Good morning. I doubt you will see this comment but I have to tell you... I have discovered your channel a couple of months ago and you are the best teacher on youtube. I'm a school teacher and we all know that some have it easier than others. You are gifted. Maybe beacuse of the way you where raised maybe it's just you but one way or the other...I love your simple direct explanation. Thanks you! ( I apologize for the mistakes English is my second language)
My first canning adventure was making apple sauce with my mom in my 40s, just before she passed away in 2019. I've since been canning all sorts of stuff including my new pressure canner. She was farm girl from Nebraska and a wealth of knowledge that I took for granted until she was gone. I love all your videos that remind of her and her many talents. I just fiished salsa and tomato sauce last week, I'm going to pull out my roaster and make apple sauce out of two 5 gallon buckets of apples I was given this week. Thank you for all your videos 😃
You are one busy lady, like the other homesteaders. My mother used to Can, but I was little & did not pay Attention., thanks for the share 8-28-2023👍🏽👍🏽❤️. I like Applesauce sometimes
I like using applesauce for substituting for half the sugar and oil in baking.😋 And of course, for just eating on its own! Great taste and nutrition.👌Love your canning ring idea!
That is the most useful video I think I have ever seen. All the steps, but no useless chatter. I didn’t know you could hot water at without covering the lids with water!! Way less mess. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
So it's June and getting warm where I'm from.. I find myself watching your canning videos that are closer to fall.. lol I must be wanting cooler weather. Good job on the applesauce.
Love your channel.❤ Thankful to God for finding you. Pressure canning didn’t work out to well for me and I was discouraged from that experience. But, after finding more people doing water bath canning & explaining how safe it is, my confidence is rising! Haha doing a batch of apple sauce with my girls tonight for my first water bath experience. So excited! ❤❤
Have two roosters, one I use for meats such as chicken, roast, etc. the other I use strictly for canning fruits. I bought my second roaster at a thrift store also for $10 and it looked like it had never been used. The thrift store roaster is probably 50 years old and works like a charm. Thank you for all the information you have helped me with all my canning needs.
Great tutorial on canning applesauce; thanks for sharing! I love applesauce & freeze a lot of mine but have canned some this year to save freezer space. Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦
So interesting to know you don't need to cover the ring and the lid! I use the presto pressure canner to also water bath and sometimes find that by the end the water has evaporated/splashed out some and the jars aren't totally covered anymore. They've always sealed fine and I don't worry about it much, but this adds to the peace of mind!
Had to watch your video again, I’m about to can for the very first time and wanted to make sure I was doing to right. Thank you.🎉 Here’s hoping it comes out good😂
Thanks again for the good instructions. I made applesauce last month for the first time. I sweetened the batch with some maple syrup. Didn't know that you can make without. LOL Will remember that for next year. The farmer suggested Zestar apples for applesauce and they were good.
Thank you so much! Just started watching tonight, a year later! You’re so sweet and have wonderful teaching skills. Appreciate you. Do you have a video on canning apple slices? Also, apple pie filling? Thank you 🌺
I love the mill. I have used it for over 40 years. Then last year I cut out the cores of the apples then cook the apples down. The pulp I then stick blend until a puree. So easy.
Working on all sorts of peppers while watching your video.😊your roaster looks about like mine😂lots of use! I always make apple cider vinegar with all the peels. Sometimes the goats and chickens get them . Love your channel and once again thank you for all you share.
I don't can in 2 quart jars anymore but I use the rack that comes with the PC to put in the bottom of the water bath canner for pints or pint and a half jars.
@@maggiedoor6093 I tried that a couple of years ago in a pinch....problem was that it didn't work long term because the rings start to rust. Just my experience.
I know u will not see this but I learn so much from u ! I did your salsa beats tomatoes! AMD the easy way ! Thank u ! Never used a book ! AMD oh your hamburger buns wow wow !
Thanks for confirming to me that I can open kettle my applesauce! I did it that way last year but kind of doubted myself. Last year I bought a food mill attachment for our small meat grinder and it made the sauce-making process go so much faster. We have about 10 apple trees so anything that helps make sauce-making quicker is helpful. We do like to make cider as well, but need to find a bigger apple crusher and press.
@@camicampbell8639I boil the jars and the lids first a few minutes. The applesauce is hot from the pot. I take a hit jar out of the pot, put the hot applesauce into the jar, put lid on and that’s it. The lid seals because everything is hot.
I know this is an old video, so you might not see my question, but do you add lemon juice? A lot of other recipes call for it, and just wondering if it was complete necessary or not, since I would rather not if I don't need to. Thanks!
Hi RuthAnn. I just discovered your channel and expect to learn a LOT from you. I have actually been canning for years, but the extent of my canning has included tomato products, pickles, relish, green beans, and vegetable soup. As others have said, you are a wonderful teacher. I do have a question: I tried using my 17-quart Rival roasting pan to cook the apples and found that even though I used plenty of water, 350 was too high a temperature - some of the apples started scorching. I pulled out the few that started to scorch and turned down the heat to 225 which seems to be working. I am stirring them often. I was so excited to use my roasting pan because there is only room for one big pot on my stove. I wonder if the smaller size of roaster makes a difference. If you have any advice, I would welcome it.
Cute boys and puppies! Have you ever seen a Victorio strainer? They are a similar concept, but they can do a lot more and way faster. I have a Foley food mill, but I get frustrated at how long it takes.
Do I have to add lemon juice to my applesauce like Ball recommends? I don’t want to. Used 2/3 golden delicious and 1/3 Granny Smith. Thank you for your videos! Very inspiring.
I was also wondering about this. I have both the ball book and the USDA guide. The ball book says you have to add lemon but the USDA book doesn’t mention it. I’d love to hear what others do.
Thanks for showing how to make applesauce. I've made apple butter years ago. Don't think I'm gonna get any apples this year, squirrels carrying them away as fast as they grow.
Oh my gosh I’m so glad you said you’d left it over night. I started earlier today to make sauce out of my Asian pears but I just don’t have the energy to finish tonight. I’ll turn it way down and finish in the morning. I so appreciate your tips and tutorials
Ooooh.. I need to make applesauce now! Thanks! Also. Out of curiosity. If you needed to pressure cook those big jars (or any jars) would it still be ok to use the rings at the bottom of the pot to make more room? New to canning and wasn’t sure if it would be different . Thanks!
If the peels were left on to cook (but cut off the core) do you actually have to food mill the peels out or could I just blend them as I do when we eat it fresh? What I am asking is if the peels affect the safety of the canned apple sauce.
Thanks for showing canning in 1/2 gallon jars. I know that the old timers canned in even gallon jars. And we are told we can't do that. Do you have a video on canning tomatoes in 1/2 gallon jars?
Question: I canned apple sauce for the 1st time. I left the headspace on the neck but during processing most of my jars Applesauce expanded up to the bottom of the lid. They appear to be sealed. Is it normal to have your apple sauce expand all the way up during processing?
THANK YOU GREAT SHOW AND NOW ON TO MY APPLES. Just a note to all your fans. I am so tired of "only fans" cooking shows where the cook and kitchen looks like a Better Homes and Garden cover picture. I do not need advice from a AI I want advice from a real we live here cook. THANKS AGAIN.
I don’t have a food mill (it’s added to the list!) I’m currently cooking the apples down in a Dutch oven in the oven, do you have a suggestion on what to use instead of a food mill?
Your length of time water bath canning depends on what you're canning contents-wise, the elevation of your city, and the size of your jars. You should be able to Google what your elevation level is and then use that to look up water bath time charts.
It wouldn't change the process, it would the taste. People use brown sugar, white, maple syrup etc. Some use lemon juice, I don't but my apple slices are sitting in citric acid ( 2-3 teaspoons in a large bowl)and water while I am in between batches. I drain them before cooking. Reuse the water mix.
That's what I do to make some chunky. Core and peel the apples and put just apple slices/pieces/chunks into the pot with some water and lemon juice. I cook it down to where we like it - sometimes use a potato masher on a few bigger pieces, and then I put it right into my hot jars from the pot!
Hello~ We had neighbors who layered their un-blemished apples in coolers w newspapers between the layers. This was successful for them until the apples were all consumed months later. They stored theirs in an unheated garage. Hope this helps.
I tried water bath canning my pickles with hot water up to cover the product.. it the 1” over the jar. 2 of my lids warped. Has that happened to Anyone else. Any suggestions. I’ve never had a lid warp before.

You are such a great teacher! I learn so much watching you channel.
You can also put a dish towel in the bottom of your canner to keep you jars off direct heat, because its wet it wont burn.
How do you get it from floating up and the jars moving?
@@vsheavenly68the jars keep it down. If I don’t have enough jars to fill the pot I add a jar or 2 filled with water.

I do have one question: what temp should the water bath be at for those 20 minutes? Thanks!!
Boiling water for 20 minutes, 212F
Thank you, Ruthann! God bless you!
Beautiful intro 😍
Thank you!
Had to watch your video again, I’m about to can for the very first time and wanted to make sure I was doing to right. Thank you.🎉 Here’s hoping it comes out good😂
I'm rewatching too, I made a canning Playlist to refer back to.

I wonder if tying rings together with string would create a round base at a pinch?

I can’t find the recipe. Love all your videos. We need a cookbook from you
Look forward to your Saturday morning videos! Thanks
Glad you like them!
I use a Sause Master food strainer by Norpro . Hand operated. Separates skins and seeds out. You can do big batches faster.
Such an enjoyable video!
I know this is an old video, so you might not see my question, but do you add lemon juice? A lot of other recipes call for it, and just wondering if it was complete necessary or not, since I would rather not if I don't need to. Thanks!
I was wondering the same thing
I came to the comments looking for that answer too
I would love to see a tour of your pantry and freezers. Also, do you have a link for that food mill?

Do you have a complete recipe for your apple sauce? im not sure how much water to add to mine or howlong to cook them
Looks good
Ooooh.. I need to make applesauce now! Thanks!
Also. Out of curiosity. If you needed to pressure cook those big jars (or any jars) would it still be ok to use the rings at the bottom of the pot to make more room? New to canning and wasn’t sure if it would be different . Thanks!
Yes!! You could still use the rings. Although pressure canners usually have a heavier bottom marking the heat distribute more evenly.
If I canned homemade applesauce last year and I did it chunky because I thought my liked it but NOT.
Can I run it through the food mill and recan?
If the peels were left on to cook (but cut off the core) do you actually have to food mill the peels out or could I just blend them as I do when we eat it fresh?
What I am asking is if the peels affect the safety of the canned apple sauce.
Good morning is there a need to add any lemon juice for acidity?
Do you ever save your peel & cores to make anything with them ?
What apples do you find to be best for applesauce? Pie filling?
What is open kettle process?❤
Hello, I just found you today. I haven't canned. 20 minutes... at a rolling boil? Thank you
Thanks for showing canning in 1/2 gallon jars. I know that the old timers canned in even gallon jars. And we are told we can't do that. Do you have a video on canning tomatoes in 1/2 gallon jars?

I don’t have a food mill (it’s added to the list!) I’m currently cooking the apples down in a Dutch oven in the oven, do you have a suggestion on what to use instead of a food mill?
You could mash them through a strainer??
I didn't add lemon juice, will it still be ok? I used a test strip and it came up between 3 and 4, good?
I didn’t see her as any lemon juice 🤷🏻♀️
How long would you personally water bath pints of applesauce?
I wondered that, and 1 L jars?
Your length of time water bath canning depends on what you're canning contents-wise, the elevation of your city, and the size of your jars. You should be able to Google what your elevation level is and then use that to look up water bath time charts.
I thought you had to add lemon juice. And also, if you add sugar, can you add brown sugar or honey and would that change the canning process?
It wouldn't change the process, it would the taste. People use brown sugar, white, maple syrup etc. Some use lemon juice, I don't but my apple slices are sitting in citric acid ( 2-3 teaspoons in a large bowl)and water while I am in between batches. I drain them before cooking. Reuse the water mix.
At do you use your Apple sauce on or in
My family likes chunky applesauce. How would you keep it chunky? Would you cook some chopped up apples in a separate pot and mix together?
That's what I do to make some chunky. Core and peel the apples and put just apple slices/pieces/chunks into the pot with some water and lemon juice. I cook it down to where we like it - sometimes use a potato masher on a few bigger pieces, and then I put it right into my hot jars from the pot!
@@eleanorz9965 Thank you! That sounds easy enough. 😊
Do you have a link for the food mill?
I have to buy apples (unfortunately). What kind is best
If you are using store purchased apples, how do you get the herbicides and pesticides off?
Peel them. That’s about all you can do
Do you add lemon juice to your applesauce?
Wish I could come help you! Lol
Do you make plum sauce the same way?
Do you use any lemon juice?
Other sites recipes call for adding lemon juice for PH
Apples are plenty acidic enough
What type of apples do you use?
I can’t find the link for the food mill please
Hi Ruth or anyone who knows by experience, looking for a " best " way to store apples outside of fridge in a cool basement? Crate?,cardboard box??
Hello~
We had neighbors who layered their un-blemished apples in coolers w newspapers between the layers. This was successful for them until the apples were all consumed months later.
They stored theirs in an unheated garage.
Hope this helps.
Do you put lemon juice in them?
When you cut the apples up, set a large amount of peelings aside and make your own homemade apple cider vinegar
Thank you
I always thought the apple seeds are poisonous. Does cooking change that?
I bet your house smelled so good!!!!
I tried water bath canning my pickles with hot water up to cover the product.. it the 1” over the jar. 2 of my lids warped. Has that happened to Anyone else. Any suggestions. I’ve never had a lid warp before.
Oops should have read NOT 1” over the top. The lids buckled. Any ideas?
I read that they new lids warp when the rings are too tight????
So you don't have to put lemon juice in your sauce?
So are acidic enough you dont have to add lemon juice or anything to them?
Yes
Use your pressure cooker insert
If I am using 1 quart jars can I do 10 or 15 minutes?
Your length of time water bath canning depends on what you're canning contents-wise, the elevation of your city, and the size of your jars. You should be able to Google what your elevation level is and then use that to look up water bath time charts.
