Apple trees seems to be fully loaded this fall! Are you looking for some new ideas to preserve your apples? Here are a few that you can try this year!
This is like a concentrated applesauce that is excellent on muffins or toast. It is a great flavor paired with pork chops. Try it instead of jelly on a peanut butter sandwich.
Add these beautiful red pickled apple slices to a relish tray or add them to a salad for flavor and color. Serve them on the side with turkey or ham.
There couldn’t be anything simpler than opening a jar of home canned pie filling and adding it to a pie crust. This tested recipe calls for Clear Jel which is a modified corn starch for thickening. This is the only thickener that should be used when canning pie filling.
Make your own apple fruit rollups in your dehydrator. Fruit leathers can be made without sugar so it is a very health snack for your kids or grandkids. If you have apple pulp left from making apple jelly use that for your fruit leather. Add other fruits to come up with your own favorite flavor.
Freezing and canning are both options for preserving applesauce. Instructions for both are listed here.
Enjoy the abundance of apples and the variety of ways to preserve them. You will appreciate your efforts this winter when you are enjoying them!
