    Hi!! Take your rings off when you store your jars- so you don’t get a false seal.

    • @JamesOldGuy
      @JamesOldGuy 24 дні тому

      The jar rings aren't needed and can actually rust to the glass (they don't always dry while cooling off) making it frustrating to open jars. And reuse the rings.

    Yes to lemon juice.
    It slows down the browning of the apple sause and it also drops the Ph for longer storage.
    Nice to premake apple pie filling with apple slices and ... and ... I am going to say it, brown sugar.

    It is a sheer joy to listen and watch each time.
    Our family dehydrated several oranges, lemons or limes last winter and we used them in citrus cold and hot drinks and on their own.
    We thoroughly enjoyed having the dried citrus last winter.
    We will be dehydrating a new batch for this winter.
    Happy New Year to you and your family.
    Grateful to see more

    I've been canning applesauce for decades and that's how I make my applesauce since they've come out with an immersion blender (best invention). I don't peel my apples either. That's where a lot of vitamins are. I also have one of those peeler/corers too and those are a great invention too. Before I had to peel and core every apple. Lol. Great channel.

    Merry Christmas, and wishing you all the best in the coming new year! Have y'all looked into planting any fruit trees on your land? I'm excited for the coming spring, as I'll be planting several apple, peach, pear and plum trees, to start a small fruit orchard, along with different types of berry bushes. Blessings to you all!

    • @thehomeintent
      @thehomeintent  Місяць тому

      Same to you! We are definitely going to add more fruit trees. We have a few apple trees, but only one gave us fruit (literally one apple haha) this year. And we definitely want an abundance of apples and other fruit, just haven't decided exactly what yet. But yes, it's our plan to add more!

    Now the recommendations say that if you are canning anything for ten minutes or more that you don't have to sterilize the jars. Just give the jars a good clean. BTW, lumpy applesauce is the best. Thank you for the wonderful views of the snow falling.

  • @JamesOldGuy

    There are time differences between open air canning (what you are using here) and pressure canning.
    A pressure cooker is good for canning higher heat requrement stuff like meats and fish.
    Canning with a pressure cooker will cut the time down by one half, roughly. You can still use a pressure canner for veggies.

    • @thehomeintent
      @thehomeintent  22 дні тому

      Yes, I'm definitely interested to pressure can meat in the future. We have a lot of freezers filled with meat!

    Please consider making a video explaining why sweet stuff like apple sauce doesn't go bad when stored in those jars. I've seen people do it in videos, but they never explain why the contents of the jars remains fresh.
    I know that you can store mustard etc without refrigeration, but that's because it has a high vinegar content. I don't understand why sweet things don't go bad.

    • @thehomeintent
      @thehomeintent  Місяць тому +2

      I'm pretty new at canning, but from what I understand, bacteria is killed in the canning process through heat, oxygen is removed from inside the jar as well, and as long as the fruit is acidic enough (like apples), new bacteria can't grow in an acidic environment without oxygen. That's my understanding!

    Привіт з України. Я ріжу яблука на 4 частини видаляю насіння та як що десь підаорчене. Засипаю цукром, ставлю на вогонь закипить та 5 хвилин на маленькому вогні потім ще 5 хвилин. Всього 3 рази. Як що нема часу то після первого разу можна відкласти) до наступного дня. Готую банки в духовці, кип'ячу кришки. Яблука перебиваю блендером і по банках. Кришки закрутила та най остивають. А потім в погреб і не псуються))). Я майже всю консирвацію роблю на око та смак. Не люблю стерилизовати і не роблю цього).

    Love this video. I've been researching canning applesauce and what I've found is to peel and slice into water with lemon juice or ascorbic acid to prevent any browning. Think you probably were exactly right to add the lemon juice.
