Apples - Sliced

Title:
Apples - Sliced

Yield:
1 Guide

Categories:
Fruits,
Canning




Ingredients:









 Quantity: An average of 19 pounds is needed per canner load of 7 quarts; an


 average of 12-1/4 pounds is needed per canner load of 9 pints. A bushel


 weighs 48 pounds and yields 16 to 19 quarts-an average of 2-3/4 pounds per


 quart.


 


 Quality: Select apples that are juicy, crispy, and preferably both sweet


 and tart.


 


 Procedure: Wash, peel, and core apples. To prevent discoloration, slice


 apples into water containing ascorbic acid. Raw packs make poor quality


 products. Place drained slices in large saucepan and add 1 pint water or


 very light, light, or medium syrup (see "Preparing and Using Syrups") per
5


 pounds of sliced apples. Boil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent


 burning. Fill jars with hot slices and hot syrup or water, leaving 1/2-inch


 headspace. Adjust lids and process.


 


 Processing directions for canning sliced apples in a boiling-water, a dial,


 or a weighted-gauge canner are given in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3.
