Ingredients
- 8 pounds apples
Instructions
- Wash apples well. Halve them. Remove core with a paring knife. (You don’t have to core apples if you aren’t using the apple pulp for applesauce)
- If you have an apple corer, you can use that to core and the halve them.
- Place them in a large Dutch oven. Add a few inches of water to the bottom of the pan. Cover with lid.
- Heat on high until water boils. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes until they are soft.
- Remove apples to a food mill. We use the Kitchenaid with the vegetable strainer attachment.
- Reserve the leftover water/ juice.
- Remove the skins with your food mill or strainer, or slip the peels off with a paring knife after they cool a bit.
- If you don’t have a food mill, mash the apples or process just a few pulses with your food processor.
- ine your fine mesh strainer with several layers of cheesecloth.
- Pour the juice that was left in the pot in first.
- Strain the mash. which is essentially applesauce. Let it strain at least of few hours or overnight.
- Heat up the juice until it begins to boil and prepare your jars. Ladle hot juice into hot jars leaving ¼ inch headspace. Wipe rims of the jars clean with damp paper towel. Center lid on jar. Screw on bands fingertip tight.
- Process pint jars in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. (See altitude adjustment in recipe below).
