woodseya1 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I make strawberry freezer jam every year. I use the recipe off the sure gel pack. Just be sure to follow the directions exactly. and I never had much luck with it setting if I put more than it called for in the container. Anyone have a good canned apple pie filling recipe? I have 2 recipes for pie filing. Apple Pie Filling recipe 1 Peel and slice enough apples to fill 7 (1-quart) jars. 4 1/4 cups granulated sugar 1 cup cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 10 cups water 3 tablespoons lemon juice Mix sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Add water, then cook until thick. Add lemon juice. Pour cooked mixture over the apples in the jars. Seal and process in hot water bath for 20 minutes. To make pie: Add 1/2 cup sugar, if desired, to 1 quart of apple pie filling. Place in unbaked pie shell, cover with top crust, then bake as usual. Apple Pie Filling recipe 2 Source: University of California Cooperative Extension Makes about 8 quarts. The best apples for this recipe are firm and crisp types such as Rome, Pippin or Granny Smith. Each quart makes one 8-inch pie. To use the filling, just pour it into an unbaked pie shell. Add a top crust if desired, and bake the pie at 350 degrees for about an hour. 6 tablespoons Fruit Fresh 4 quarts water 10 pounds apples 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 3/4 cup bottled lemon juice 4 cups granulated sugar 1/2 cup water Add Fruit Fresh to 4 quarts of cold water. Wash, peel and core apples. Cut apples into 1/2-inch slices, and drop the slices into the Fruit Fresh mixture as you slice. In a small bowl, combine the tapioca, 1 1/2 cups sugar and lemon juice. Set this mixture aside. Drain the apples and place them in a kettle with 4 cups sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Heat the apples to 190 degrees, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Add the reserved lemon-juice mixture and reheat to 190 degrees F or until the tapioca is clear and cooked. Sterilize the canning jars and lids according to the manufacturer directions. Using a funnel, pack the apple mixture into clean, hot jars, leaving a 1-inch head space. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth. Put the lids and screw bands in place. As each jar is filled, place it in a water bath canner filled with boiling water. When the canner is filled, place the lid on the kettle and keep the water in the kettle boiling for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the canner and place them, lid side up, on a cooling rack. When cool to room temperature, test each one for a seal by pressing the center of the lid. The lid should not flex up and down. If it does, refrigerate the jar and plan to use the contents in a few days. You can remove the screw bands for storage. Store the jars in a cool, dry, dark place for up to a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyna99 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I have used this recipe for years and like it cuz its easy.....I use granny smith or northern spys.... peel and core apples, slice and add sugar couple times while you put them into containers....I let mine sit overnite and can them the next day...... I usually make extra syrup to add to the jars....... When I make a pie I add the apples and also cinnamon and a couple pieces of butter.. They all like it here.... oh yea........a canning section would be nice like said before!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I've never canned or made jams/jellies myself although I helped a couple times when I was a kid. I have wanted to try the last few years, but haven't yet. I may have to get myself in gear and get some equipment to try some of these yummy recipes though!

Petee Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Once you have made your own jelly, in exactly the flavors you enjoy, you will never want to buy the commercial stuff again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
