When I make applesauce. I just wash and core them. Then I cook them (with the peels still on}. After that I put them in the blender in batches. You can't tell there is even a hint of peeling in the applesauce, More healthful and definitely less work!

I'm sorry, but I disagree completely. The only "side" you need to go with Apple butter is a spoon. 😂😂 I make mine in the crock pot, for a cooler kitchen. I just leave it overnight. It still astounds me when people are surprised to find out that it contains only apples, salt, and cinnamon. It's sooo good. Yummy. Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, Michigan, USA

I love how you showed how you use everything. As I’m watching this I have pears cooking on stove and in crockpot, apples in dehydrator and now I’m wanting to make the apple bbq sauce and use up the cores for apple scrap jelly. You e inspired me. Thank you.

If you ever have some apples to process, I highly recommend this easy treat. Slice the apples very thin, I kept skins on, dip in cinnamon sugar, spread onto dehydrator tray and dehydrate as dry as possible. I vacuum them into a canning jar and they are just like candy. A couple jars when you feel like a special treat is very welocme at times. It was easy and kept very well.

I read in an Amish book that they bake their apple butter in the oven on low sometimes even overnight so they don't have to watch it so carefully. I have done this with apples and pears and it turned out well.

Love the video concept of focusing on one item to preserve in multiple ways. The thumbnail and title make it so easy to look up later. I'll definitely be watching again when we get our apple harvest ❤

My mom has been gone for almost 7 years now, and I would love to be able to spend the day with her. It's absolutely wonderful that you were able to spend that time with your mom and the kids got to visit their grandparents 💗💗

[beckymay]

Oh my gosh! Ur mom’s kitchen is so exciting. I would be over there all the time.

I just went yesterday and did the same thing here. A gentleman, 93 years old now; has 5 apple trees and 3 peach trees! I clean his home throughout the year at no cost to him and he gives me all the fruit I can gather. After 35 years he has only sprayed the first year, organic. Barter system definitely puts food in my larder. The apple BBQ sauce sound fantastic 😊

[ponshomeplace]

Jessica, your videos are so educational. Please keep the videos coming. Such a blessing to have a gift of apples. ❤

[renata-sb]

I love apples ❤ I did not know one can make so many products from a humble apple.
Love to see mum's equipment in her kitchen. Thank you and all the best to all family 😊

I made homemade waffles for breakfast for my [now grown] boys. I heated up a jar of apple pie filling and topped the waffles with it. YUM!

[louisefourie]

I am in south Africa and still in winter although my peach and almond trees are blooming, waiting patiently for my turn. Enjoy

The toddler belly is the star of the show. I miss mine being that little. 😊

I have been making homemade apple butter for 50 years, used to do it with my dear sweet mother in law, who is now in heaven, however it was in an old copper kettle outside with a fire under neath it. I started doing it alone when she had to sell out. I core my apples and thats it. I cook them down and run them through my food processor. You cant even see any skins and all that nutient is in the sauce, i then put in my electric roasters, and cook with salt sugar and cinnamon. I cook them 24 to 36 hours, and if i enter it in a bazaar, i sell out, no mater how much i have taken. One year it was close to 10 cases. I love to do it, and give as gifts.
Love your videos.
