  1. This tastes wonderful. One BIG caution, the processing time may be wrong. This is a cold packed canning recipe. According to my Blue Book regular cold packed apples (put in jar cold with hot syrup poured over and then put into boiling water bath) are processed 30 minutes...10 minutes more than this recipe calls for. I made that one change and subbed 1 cup packed brown sugar for the white for flavor and it worked great. Packing is slow as it takes some time for the thick syrup to seep into the packed jars. I will make it again.
     
  2. Great recipe, I added cranberries for color and some times throw in a star of anise
     
  3. I love apple anything and the picture of these canned sold me! So here I am with 7 qts. of delicious filling to use in pies, as a side to pork, chicken etc, and to use just about any way I please. The flavor is awesome and I can't wait to make my first pie!
     
  4. This is getting 5 stars because I got FANTASTIC compliments and all I did was follow the recipe!! I do have a question.... How long will it keep in the bottles if unopened? Thanks!!
     
  5. Very easy, if a little messy without a funnel. I got exactly 7 quarts worth of apples and syrup, which was nice. Looking forward to making a pie with them now!
