Hello to everyone on this nice sunny day. I hope all is well at your home and that you are happy for this day.
For this water bath canning recipe, you will need these items.
6c. of peeled and diced fine, apples
2 1/2 c. white sugar and 2 1/2 c. brown sugar.
1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg 3/4th c raisins
6 TBSP pectin or 1 pkg of pectin. 1/2 c water
Wash apples well in the sink. I used a cutting board and an apple wedge cutter on the apples. Next I put the wedges in a large bowl and poured 1/4 c of lemon juice on them. I also had a second large bowl with water and lemon juice in it for the peeled apple slices.
I watched tv while I cut the peelings off of about 4 apples at a time. Then I put those into the water/lemon juice bowl. And got some more to cut the peels off of. Until I finished the whole bag of apples.
Put a 1/2 c of water and the apples in a large deep pot (because this bubbles and pops as you are stirring it). Use a long spoon.Watch so this does not burn during the whole process, you will be stirring and cooking on med-low heat, until apples are soft but not mushy.
Get your water-bath pot going so that you will be prepared, when you need it.
Back to the apples now. Stir in pectin and keep stirring. Bring to a rolling boil and then add in sugars and spices while stirring. (It is hot and poppy now). Bring back up to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute.
Now you use your jar funnel and soup ladle to put apples into jars. I used pints.Fill to 1/4 th head-space from top of jar. Use a chop-stick to de-bubble and wipe the jar rims with a napkin and vinegar to clean.
Put the seals on and the the bands on, just finger tight only. Put in water-bath canning pot and when it is at a rolling boil, then start counting time off for 10 minutes for the preserves to process. Have a folded towel on counter top and place jars there to seal and cool. You will hear a ping for each jar that seals! Wash jars the next da and then label and date them and store in a cool dark place.
I am going to put some of this over ice-cream! Think I got 3 -pint jars full. I give the credit to my friend on YouTube that is called Suttons Daze for this recipe as it is her’s
