25 Responses to Canning apple pie filling for the novice canner
Can you tell me where I can find the proper canning information for my
area? I’m in South Florida. 2 ft above sea level.i called my extension
office and we are so cosmopolitan people have no canning info. They don’t
do classes. North Florida does. Sheesh. Lololol

I’m actually debating between doing apple butter or filling tomorrow. Plan
on buying apples from the farmers market. This was a great video. Btw,
tighten that little wingnut and you will get all the peel off your apples.
Also, if you push the release lever and simply pull back it will pop that
core right off. It’s just one less step to do.

Thank you for your video, especially about the clearjel. I never heard of
that before, I will have to give it a try. Thanks again!

Odd question I know… But where did you get your paring knife?

Hey I’m here in Michigan too, went picking at the orchard last weekend; I
asked about the look of the apples they said the hail storms had damaged
them, but not effected the taste! So if you had hail, could be the reason
for the look!
Just an idea: several of my large stockpots and canners have markings on
the sides which can been viewed on the inside, that that indicate number of
quarts—that’s what I use to gauge how much product I have prior to canning.

Instead of ClearJel, I use tapioca flour. you can buy it at an Asian market
for about $2 for a pound. If you buy it at a regular market it’s $5 or $6 a
pound. I love Asian markets! 🙂 It is what they use in commercial pies so
the consistency is the jelly like consistency of a commercial cherry pie
filling.
@TheRealXesc I don’t have a bowl of any size with measurement marks on it,
but that’s a great idea! That’s one reason I like canning recipes that give
the produce amount in pounds. Weighing stuff on a kitchen scale is
infinitely easier and more accurate than doing the cup thing IMHO. Thank
you for the encouragement too! I love my subs. They keep me going.

Some types of our apples here in S.D did exceptional and others did nothing
at all. My main tree had the most fruit it has had since I’ve lived here
but what was weird is that they started dropping much earlier than usual.
You’ve probably saw that in my videos. I trust all is well with you and
your family. I hope so anyways. Peace
They are beautiful! Yes, they must be left out to admire. One of the most
beautiful additions to a kitchen pantry is home canning..All the beautiful
colors lined up just waiting to be taken to the table or stove.
AND…canning is a good reason to put on that new apron! Love it!
It was so thoughtful of you to encourage her to ‘get on with HER video’.
You definately sound like an ass, fast forward if you wanna move ahead
sweetheart. Leave your idiot comments to yourself.
@Moonessence1 Ha ha — how do you really feel? ; ) Thanks kid — I
appreciate you tuning in.

Oh surprise — just checked out YOUR channel and not only do you have no
videos up yourself, but there’s a steady stream of insulting comments you
have left on others’ videos including where you said on one, “Black people
should learn how to speak”. So you’re a bigot as well. Yeah, good riddance

They look like Granny Smiths. Thanks for the video and tips! We are canning
our apples soon and probably will so jelly.
Hey have you heard of making mock apple pie filling with squash? I made 55
quarts this year. you cant even tell the difference. I use pool ball and
zucchini squash but any kind of summer squash will work. make the syrup,
cut the slices or cubes, pour over squash in jars when boiling and cann for
the same time as you would pressure can the apple pie. I have been learning
alot of depression era recipes they are great!

What is ClearJel? I wouldn’t use anything that is made of chemicals.
