If you are not familiar with canning, this is a great way to start. There are many tools out there but the most important ones are a 5 quart pot for cooking your fruit, and a 7-10 quart pot for the canning lined so that the jars are not touching the bottom, I usually use the small lid rings but you could use a steamer basket.It is important to sanitize your jars and lids. I put my jars in the dishwasher and use the heat dry setting.
I have included a video that will take you through the steps of making apple sauce. Please take the time to watch it through before you start.
Hey, you shold borrow my chinois, you can cook the apples with the core and the skins and then put them through the sieve. Works awesome for applesauce.
ReplyDeleteI heard about the chinois. I think that's definitely the way to go for a smooth apple sauce, I really do like mine chunky though. When I start making food for the baby I will totally borrow it :)
