I have a friend going through the stages of cancer. She mentioned her apple trees being loaded and not being able to make applesauce because her arms are too weak to turn the food mill. I told her I'd make and can her some up once the trees go through a frost (sweeter apples). I'll be using my 'tools' to make that process fast and easy and she'll get juice to boot! I kept her supplied with nourishing bone broths when she was going through the worst of it.
Friendship is wonderful always, but in times like that, it is priceless! God bless you and prayers for you both.

You are a gem
God bless you as well.
Keep up the good work ❤
I have a waterbath canner. I'm getting a steam canner. It will be so much easier to use the steam canner. I'm a big guy and even at 77 it's handier.makes me want to buy a steam juicer.
Wayne you won't regret it. I love mine.
Been doing this for 30 years, ha ha. Living in the north, we could only grow crabapples and no way would I peel and core those. There is a third use for what's left...pig food & chicken food. They sure liked that.
Use this to make grape juice! Works wonderful!
I made grape juice and strawberry. I love my steamer
I, too, used mine for Concord grape juice concentrate- 86 quarts! Great tool!!
As you were speaking about your grandson, I was choked up with tears. Blessed Be the Children.
I bought a food mill from the hardware store ( $120) and it did the job but needed cleaning several times during the process. I then bought a Victorio through market place ($20). What a difference! LOVE the Victorio! Twice the capabilities or more! Steam juicer is next on my list.
A steam juicer is next on my list too
@@diannerichard2509 They are good - can be used as steamers and I use the base 'pot' for jams, sauce making etc.
I was so lucky to find a steam juicer at Habitat for humanity for $5!!! I just made my first tomato juice.
I am an avid thrifter and always look for preservation tools at secondhand stores. Technically, my steam juicer wasn't thrifted, I got it for free from my Buy-Nothing group. I've found 2 Victorios. The second one had the 3 sizes of strainer so I bought it, then sold the 1st one on Marketplace. After watching and waiting for a couple of years, just this week I found a steam canner.
Not only does the steam canner save energy and time but the house doesn't get as hot.
I think it’s amazing that you donate half of your Amazon proceeds to Primary Children’s Hospital, I have a younger sister and a nephew that are still here because of the amazing care they received there. Thanks for your great videos.
Thanks for watching our videos. Jim
I know this was two weeks ago, but I have to say how lucky I am because I acquired my steam juicer and my Victorio Strainer from my Mother. The Victorio Strainer has the three screens. My grandfather had purchased it and always bought the best. My mother would make apple juice in the steam juicer, squeeze the apple pulp, then make the apple butter. It was always so good!
I still have my enamel stovetop steam juicer from Germany. Bought it late 80s ❤
My mom got one of those juices in late 50's (in Europe) she used it for apples, black currants and lingonberries. I bough mine few years after I got married when I saw one in a kitchen store in US, that was in 70's. Have made apple juice ( jelly, juice) and apple sauce/ apple butter ( btw make applebutter in crock pot) ever since. A friend introduced me to chokecherry jelly and I make that every few years as well. Those berries have big stones and steam juicer works great for extracting the juice.
Game changer! Just picked 200+ lbs of pears. Apples coming soon. Never heard of a steam juicer until now. This opens a whole new panorama...
Another lesson from Pam, I can’t thank you enough. I wish I was twenty years younger it would have saved me so much but I am glad I know now. Have a great day!
You can also make apple butter easily once sauced with a crockpot in less time once the juice is extracted.
I love my steamer-juicer. regular tomato juice makes canker sores for my husband, so I tried putting tomatoes through the steamer-juicer. The resulting 'essence of tomato' juice is delicious and canker sore free. I put the residue through the strainer and dehydrate it. The tomato 'leather', with different seasonings, can be eaten as it or used in cooking. No wastage. I've done this process with many fruits and, sometimes, veg. Or--fruit residue can become jam or sauce . The uses range from being an ingredient in popcicles to trifles. This year I plan to put cranberries through the SJ and dehydrate the residue for a addition to oatmea, fruit cobblers, or whatever my imagination can come up with.
What a marvelous tool!
When I make big messes from food processing, hubby helps me clean up. He benefits from the products also. (Think about the story of 'The Little Red Hen')
You’re one lucky lady!
@cynthiafisher9907 lol...he's retired. We have a long standing tradition, he cooks, I clean up, I cook, he cleans up. I chased our 4 little boys, cleaned up after them for years as a stay at home mom. When I finally went back to work, and had to go places for long weekends, he learned the value of many hands make short work of a job.
@@marthasundquist5761 Cool! I chased around a passel of kids as well for many years. My husband isn’t quite retired yet, but I doubt he’ll ever be interested in cleaning up the canning pots. Canning is what I like to do, he’s not that much of a fan. Maybe someday I’ll get him to cook, that would be great!
What a wonderful video of information. How gratifying to use all of your own apples and get two delicious products for now and later. Way to go Pam and Jim!!!
Hi. The shelf liner that grips might be helpful underneath the clampy parts on your apple grinder-upper to keep it from sliding on and scratching your granite counter. My parents used it in their motor home cabinets to keep things from sliding around in the cabinets and we used it in our camper cabinets. Mom told me to keep a little square of it in my kitchen to help remove screw-on jar lids, too. It's a super helpful material to keep handy. It's useful underneath cutting boards for stabilization. I know you know what I'm talking about seeing as how you have a camper and have to keep things from sliding all over. 😊 So, try a couple of pieces under those clamps and see if that helps. May have to dampen it, but hopefully it will work. Or, a piece of a wide rubber band. If I think of something else that might work, I'll leave another comment. Thank You, so much for Everything you do and teach us!!! 🙂🌻❤️
Just food for thought. I was always told to take the first two jars of juice and pour them back over the top of the apples because they will be much more concentrated than the last juice to come off. That way the juice is more consistent in concentration.
I did notice a difference in color between the two jars and thought about combining them first next time to equal out the strength. Love your idea!
HELLO FROM SOUTH GEORGIA, I'M DOUBLE DIPPING PEARS RIGHT NOW. USING THE PEELS AND CORES WHILE I'M CANNING PEARS IN LIGHT SYRUP. 😊
Many years ago, I turned that apple pulp into fruit leather for the grandkids. It turned out beautifully too. Those gadgets, the mill and steam juicer really make preserving easy and so much less work that the jelly bag way of extracting. Wish I was more of an applesauce girl but I've never really enjoyed it in any way. But the different flavor profiles I tried for the fruit leathers was fun and the grands loved them. Think my fav was a pumpkin spice fruit roll up. But I used plums mixed in and other berries; different spices. so many ideas on line.
That's an awesome idea! Then you could make 3 things with the apples!
So all you'd have to do is remove the seeds first. (Would be easier to do that before cooking) or, maybe a food mill after.... then you could use every bit of apple goodness.
I did exactly as Pam did; used the food mill after to remove seeds/skin. Adding honey or sugar to sweeten also made the leathers more pliable for rolling. Sugar free was a little more brittle. I also used maple syrup. so many flavor combos!@@redeemedvintageseamstress4728
I love this stuff too. I saw Where after you can peaches you take the stones and skins and make peach jelly from them. Love it. ThanKs Pam and Jim 🌷🇨🇦
That's a great idea! I have made apple peeling jelly, but not peach!
@@RoseRedHomestead yeah Jessica from three rivers homestead made some, that was the first time I seen it.
put a few marbles in bottom of water reservoir so you know when it is near dry. Also be really careful as I got a 2nd degree burn from the hose slipping and the juice burning me.
To prevent dripping from the hose, slide the hose as far as it will go towards the circle end of the metal clip. The further it goes towards that end, the tighter the clip. I love my strainer, I am doing last year's frozen blackberries to make jelly.
Thank you for your comments. Jim
First time I’m ever seeing a steam pot like that. It did such a good job making apple juice and the apple sauce looks wonderful
Thanks so much!
I used it by wrapping it around my leg when I broke my knee in two places .Im so short and not very big.I went to the Dr. One day,she asked me about it.She sent one of the office girls to go pick some up right then.
Just purchased a steamer juicer. Now I know what I’m going to do first ! Next, I’m going to find a Victorio. Thank you. Thank you !!
I save the apple water as an apple drink. It had a lot of flavor. We tend to water down apple juice anyway as it is too strong. A steam juicer has been on my wish list for awhile. I did invest in an electric strainer this year though, after struggling to strain tomato sauce by hand. Very happy with that investment.
I did the same thing with scuppernongs this year! I have the same juicer…. Juiced the grapes then ran the pulp left through a colander for fruit leather.
Sweetened the leather with honey and put it on large cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Put in the sun to dry.
After a couple of sunny days it had dried and I pulled the fruit leather sheet from the paper.
I cut it into strips and rolled it in cut wax paper strips. Put in a plastic bag. My college grandson loves them. Remember “fruit roll ups?” So much better without processed sugar or nasty additives.
Why didn’t I think of this sooner!
ive steamed a whole chicken and veg. and the meat falls off bones for supper then canned the broth and chicken for later so very good
I do the same thing with grapes then take the pulp, puree, and turn them into cookies using the freeze dryer...no sugar, put in chopped nuts, toasted oats, etc.
I just tried doing it this way and it works fantastic. Some of the best applesauce AND juice and so simple. No peeling and coring which kills my hands. But the results were wonderful. Thank you so much!!!
You can use the apple pulls in your freezer dryer, to eat it, or turn it into powder and add to baking,
You can also make apple cider mix and add your apple powder , and mix up a cup of apple cider( hot or cold)
Because of the thickness of the applesauce, it would be the perfect consistency for apple butter.
I was wondering this exact thing just a few days ago! How funny to come across this now. Thanks so much! Ill be working on it this weekend.
I've learned so much from you! (and bought quite a few very great gadgets along the way) Now I have two more on my list!
We have a bumper crop of apples this year! I start with Gravenstein apples, then Gala, Honeycrisp and Jonagold. The last apples I use are Winter banana. I started another small orchard with one cider type tree, Fuji, Mott’s pink, and Pink Lady, lots of apples.
Try making apple juice with several different types of apples. It is so much better than just one type.
@@cynthiafisher9907 I do this but have a glut of cider right now.
@@ceepark114 I understand. I am still canning peaches, I haven’t gotten to the apples yet!
i LOVE my steam juicer. i found a hip high stool on the side of road and that is what i put my jars on to decant the juice from the juicer and as yo0u did they then go into the water bath canner, it is just so quick.
..
You came make apple cider vinegar out of the waste product coming out of the apple sauce.
I was under the impression that the molds, fungi, bacteria on the skins are what ferment the vinegar if you don't have a mother. I think the color might be darker and am not sure I would use it for salad dressing if I tried that. But I haven't tried that....a worthy experiment for sure!
@@marthasundquist5761 You could probably used 1 saved apple to add to it.
I can my apples, and save the scraps to make vinegar in 5 gallon buckets. It takes 2 months but I get around $100 worth of apple Cider Vinegar for free.
@@wendydriggs1539 👍
Pam just made juice the other day,glad you bought one, I love mine
Wow! A nice surprise… I went through your Amazon store to buy the Victorio set and was able to use a gift card which I forgot was in my account. Great price for this today! Thanks for your videos! 😊
Thank thank you Pam learned so much and how to get the most from apples and more fruits as well !!!
Pam, you confirmed what I thought could be done with produce - making multiple products. I can see using the juice (blueberries, cherries, etc.) to make panake syrup or jelly. Using the pulp to make jams.
It would be interesting if the juicer could be used to steam large qantities of vegetables or to steam meats like fish. I do not like single use equipment, so I will be wathing to see if your viewers suggest other foods that can be prepped in the steam juicer.
Great vid.
I was just getting ready to do applesauce. After watching your video I will juice them first. Thank you.
This looks great! Thank you.
🇦🇺put the apple skins and seeds back through the Victoria strainer for a second time. You do the same for tomatoes. It’s amazing what still comes out.
There are apps on your phone that may help with identifying the apple trees.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I just finished by project and we were amazed at the results! This was my first time making apple juice. I ended up getting 10 quarts apple juice and 6 quarts applesauce! They are both delicious!
I'd so love to do this with home grown apples. Unfortunately there's little options for growing apples here in SE Texas zone 9 but I plan to add to my orchard 💚💚💚
I hope you have success with growing some apples. Surely there would be some varieties that can grow in your area.
I'm excited with you! It's very satisfying when you can make great use of what you grow regardless of the fruit/veggies you get.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful day.
Enjoyed this video and learned alot.
This is brilliant.
Awesome!!! I need to check out one of those.
Great job! The juice and applesauce both look delicious!
I love my steam juicer
Fantastic video!
I recently bought a Harvest brand steam canner, an Oxo brand food mill, and a steam juicer (can’t remember the brand). They’ve revolutionized my canning life!
Thank you Pam.
Wonderful gadgets...
I've been doing the same thing that you're doing in this video. It's been working really well I bought one of those victorio food meals and I liked it so well I bought a second one. Thrift store find. I took the waste that came out of food mill and made some vinegar. I wasn't sure if I had too many seeds in it to be safe so I'm just using it for cleaning. I need to buy a steam canner next. And I need to figure out how to hook my rechargeable drill to the handle of food mill. I love your videos.
I have a new steam juicer, going to do my elderberries to try making syrup. I have a Squeezo strainer that I use for tomatoes and apple sauce. What a great time saver! Well worth the investment.
That is awesome!
Wonderful info. Great video. Thank you!
You are welcome.
We made this too - added red hots to it - since you're already adding sugar and cinnamon - why not? My husband said it took him right back to being a little kid
I use the steam juicer for grape juice to make jelly. Soooo easy and quick.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
It is amazing how well that works. I leave the stems just take off any leaves.
Don't forget if you have chickens to give them the scraps! Apples are a zero waste in our house, apple juice, sauce and chicken food! They love it
Agree! Thanks.
Great job darling! ❤
Pam: Great video as usual. I am glad you did this video, I have always wondered how good the steam juicer worked. You can't always depend on product descriptions to be a true reflection of performance.
Thanks for the info on the strainer. I have used a small food mill for both applesauce and tomato sauce over the years….but it takes forever since it is small. I will be buying one of these strainers. Thanks again and God bless!
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something and boy did I learn something very valuable today! I have several trees loaded with apples this year and not having to peel and core apples to make applesauce is SO appealing (Pun intended). Plus, you made juice too. I am buying both the steam juicer and the food strainer/sauce maker. Thank goodness I have a steam canner.
Thank you so much for all the fantastic information!
How easy and fun!!! SO happy your tree had apples this year. I saw some videos where people ran the pulp back through 2-3 times to get all they could from it. I would make some apple jelly with the juice as I LOVE apple jelly. I used to make it all the time years ago at my dad's house when I was younger. Dad had a huge garden and we froze and canned everything. There were elderberry bushes we made jelly with, rhubarb plants, a cherry tree, wild berries, etc. Plus we had farms nearby for anything we didn't grow. Oh how I miss that home. The steam juicer and Victorio are wonderful. Oh, what happened to your chickens? Awesome video as always.
Yummy! I bought a juicer a few yrs ago,never used it,bought a steamer this yr,I will try it this yr!
Will have to buy apples,but excited to have applesauce again, I used to have good apples & made sauce & the best Apple butter,my family loved both & I always made it for them for Christmas. Maybe I can surprise them with a treat this yr,thanks again for your great lessons 😊
I was (probably) one of those people who suggested the steam juicer....which I still call a Mehu-Maja. Every one in my family has had one since the late 1970's. I'm always suggesting them, and apples are one of the main reasons. Very thick applesauce. And if you think the apples smell good - OMG grapes are pretty wonderful, too. I steam black raspberries for gorgeous delicious jelly. For the applesauce, I freeze some with the little red cinnamon candies, some with lemon peel, and a couple plain. I can't decide if I like the cinnamon or the lemon better, and it is super-duper when I take it out of the freezer and eat some when it is half thawed out. Yum!
Thank you for suggesting the juicer. I am still on my learning curve with it but it is a great addition to our food prep equipment! And thanks for sharing your ideas as well.
@@RoseRedHomestead Thank YOU for all you do! I love learning new things on UA-cam. I feed animals first thing in the morning, then sit with email and YT for a half hour or so before digging in on other projects. I love that quiet time with my coffee and YT and not going to work at 6 am!
Very interesting video. A steam juicer will be on my Christmas list this year.
They have so many uses! I think you will love it.
The steam juicer is amazing I use it to juice blackberries use juice to make jelly and can juice for drinks. I need to buy some apples to steam
I use the steamer for fruits and vegetables. I also have a vitorio strainer which I use to make tomato sauce, berries for jam, etc. I have steamed grapes to make juice to make grape jelly and also grape jam and do strawberries the same way.
This is so timely! Although our apple tree also produced for the first time this year (so exciting!), I did not think to pull out my Victoria steam canner or the Johnny Seed apple sauce maker, not as nice as your Victoria but it does a good job. What was I thinking?!! I really don’t enjoy working harder.
The applesauce is fantastic without any added sweetener. I believe our apples are Cortland. So I’m happy with the end results although I’ll bring out my beautiful Victoria steam juicer for our next batches of apples!
Just have to say this - I admire how regal my Victoria Steam Canner looks! It’s an impressive piece of equipment! Why I didn’t think of it I don’t know.
We have ordered more apples from a nearby orchard and have these two items ready.
Thank you Rose
I like to use a hemostat to clamp my steam juicer hose. They’re very inexpensive on Amazon. Love your videos!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Now that's impressive. Love the frugality. My grandmother used to make a pretty good little apple pie using White House applesauce. I'll be you could for sure make an even better applesauce pie out of your homemade applesauce. TFS!
Interesting idea! Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on the apple harvest, so satisfying! I bought a steam canner a few years ago and you did much better than I did. I loved the trick using the drawer - I got caught out by how quickly I needed to fill the jars, particularly as I found the tube, the clasp and the jars too hot to handle. I got in a bit of a pickle, so I would advise people to prepare for all of that.
What I found was that on German programmes, they generally bottle afterwards. I went through the canning process too, but they didn't. from what I saw the bottles were just regular bottles (not sealing) and they were just heated to pasteurising temperature before bottling. The bottles were said to store for a year. I prefer to adhere to the Ball guidelines and will always do so, but it made me wonder about the safety of their method.
Here's a trick I learned from an old-timer on youtube. I can't remember her name or her channel but she was processing crabapples like I was. The crab apples when I first took them off the tree didn't have any blemishes nothing had messed with them but I thought maybe I should cut a few open to make sure they were okay. They were fine but the task of cutting all of those crabapples was daunting. What this person did was they froze them all first for 24 hours. That did something to the cell structure. Then I just tossed those little crab apples in whole into steam juicer.
When I use my machine that is similar to yours I attach my battery operated variable drill to where the handle is attached and it makes the job go super fast and saves my arm and hands. Also when I make applesauce I always put in Red Hot candies in there and it makes my sauce a nice pink color.
Thanks for the tips. I make jam with red hots as well.
I've been trying to figure out how to get my drill attached.
I love fresh apples with a bit of cinnamon sugar sprinkled on them, or spread with almond butter or peanut butter.
I also took the applesauce and turned it into fruit leather.
Thank you for posting this! I've been making applesauce this way for forty five years. I've had a Squeezo Strainer a few years longer that I made applesauce with but I didn't have a steam juicer until then. At first I used all the juice and made applesauce with the leftovers, but I found I didn't like either the juice or the applesauce, so i steamed the apples until just fork tender. The juice just barely started to run. I moved it off the heat, let it cool about a half hour then ran it through the Squeezo . It needed very little sugar if any, depending on the apples. I found I didn't care for the cooked taste of apple juice so now I make raw apple cider and put a few liters, (reuse the few pop bottles we use a year.) They taste just like fresh pressed when thawed from the freezer.
I agree! The juice from the steamer/juicer I found wasn’t very good, too much of a cooked taste. Also, the applesauce from apples that are cooked too long is very mealy and dry, not good to me. Although, I use an Acme juicer to juice my apples(always use several varieties together, tastes better to me) and then put it in the steamer juicer to heat up and decant into the jars. Easy peasy and it doesn’t taste cooked!
Thank you so much for this video and it brought back so many memories of using both these items. I no longer have the juicer and now wish I had kept it for making applesauce. I never thought about using it for that as we made our own grape juice which worked wonderful. We would pick a wheel barrow full of grapes and bring them in and washed them stem and all and put them directly into the canner. It made such wonderful juice and so easy. We did have to replace the tube one time and I think because of the heat going through there it finally wore it out. With your other item the Vitorio, mine had a different name but I still have it and mine is probably over 20 years old and has made a lot of applesauce. When I made a small batch of applesauce the other day I just cut the cores out and then ran it through a food mill that I had purchased thinking this was going to be a good idea. This food mill didn't even move the apples down so that you could get anything out from turning the crank. So I dug out my old cone shape collander and used that which thankfully I had kept. Thanks for all your videos as they are always so informative. Thank Jim too for doing all his videoing so that you can stay in front of the camera.
I think the new strainers aren’t as good of quality maybe.
Smart Cookie!
If you’re going to can the applesauce, make sure you add enough liquid so that it’s thin enough to allow the heat to penetrate it thoroughly and so the air can escape without blop-blopping like a tar pit (getting all over the place and preventing the jar from sealing).
I sometimes cook my apples for applesauce in my steamer/juicer, but I add the juice back into the applesauce after straining the apples.
That thick apple sauce would also be good for apple butter
Wait until you do grape juice! My MIL gave me a steam canner over 30 years ago and I love it! Take the grapes off of the stems though, the juice is much better.
Sounds fantastic.
I used it under my brace.
Rose get yourself an electric strainer!
I need to make some applesauce and apple butter, I'm down to my last pint of each. Waiting on a sale! Last weekend i canned sloppy joe base and corn the weekend before. The corn came out amazinng, that was my 1st time canning that! Planning on doing alot more so I dont have to buy the cans from the store.
Sounds like you are having lots of canning success! That is fantastic!
small CRAB apples make a most delicious sauce and jelly
Look up Surround Kayolin Clay. All natural. Mix it with water. Spray trees. Bugs, etc. Take a bite full of clay and move on. Then just wash produce. Pretty neat.
Thanks you for the suggestion. Jim
Could you use a tomato juice colander? At this time I don’t have a Victorio Strainer, but I do have a steam juicer! I have apple that I need to do, and I like the idea of double dipping apples!
Thank you so much for a very informative video. Would you suggest that waste could be used for vinegar? I’ve never done this but trust your teaching and opinions.
I made so much applesauce last year that I can skip it this year. I do hope to make cinnamon apples with Red Hots though, they are my favorite.
I love to make that applesauce as well! Thanks for sharing.
I use to process the pulp one more time. It give me even more applesaus
So if you love the time savings for apple sauce and juice now make apple butter with the apple sauce it is already thick and doesn't need hours of cooking to thicken it all you need are the spices and then can it ! Thanks for all the info on your youTube videos
Interesting suggestions. Jim
I love all these new gadgets for time saving, but everything cost money.
Yes, you are correct. It is always a balance among available resources including money, personal time, and effort.
They have an electric model of the crank press thing. Easier for older people with arthritis and those who do many pounds of fruit. Goes faster also. I saw “Acre Homestead “ blogger use the electric one a couple days ago.
Good to know. Thanks.
