Veras Apple Pie In A Jar Recipes

Steps:

• Place the apple cider, apple juice, cinnamon sticks, and sugar into a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, and discard the cinnamon sticks. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then stir in the grain alcohol. Pour into quart-size canning jars, seal with the lids and rings, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Combine everything but the apples and lemon juice.
• Cook until thick and bubbly.
• Add 3 tbs lemon juice.
• Pack apple slices tightly into quart jars and cover with syrup.
• Cold pack for 20 minutes to preserve or give to friends to use up within 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stock pot. Fill pot with hot water. Sterilize 7 1-quart canning jars, 7 lids, and 7 rings by placing on rack, jars upright. Bring water to a boil. Boil 10 minutes. Remove with a holder and allow jars to air-dry. Save water for processing apples.
• Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and water in a large saucepan. Place over high heat and cook until thick and bubbly, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
• Tightly pack apples into sterilized jars. Slowly pour syrup over apples, covering them completely. Gently tap jars on countertop to allow air bubbles to rise. Screw lids on jars.
• Carefully lower jars into pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between jars. Add more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.
• Remove jars from pot and place on cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press top of each lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid doesn't move up or down at all). Sealed jars can be stored for up to a year.

Steps:

• 1. 1. Prepare canner, jars and lids.

• 5. 5. Place jars in canner, ensuring they are competely covered with water. Bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes. Remove canner lid. Wait 5 mintues, then remove jars, cool and store. Be sure to check time needed for processing depending on your elevation. (Here in Colorado where I am I have to add 10 minutes to my canning time for my elevation.)

• Fill quart jars with apples leaving 1 inch head space.
• Be sure to pack the apples in there, put a few in and smosh down with the handle of a wooden spoon, then a few more and repeat.
