I have a friend going through the stages of cancer. She mentioned her apple trees being loaded and not being able to make applesauce because her arms are too weak to turn the food mill. I told her I'd make and can her some up once the trees go through a frost (sweeter apples). I'll be using my 'tools' to make that process fast and easy and she'll get juice to boot! I kept her supplied with nourishing bone broths when she was going through the worst of it.

You can also make apple butter easily once sauced with a crockpot in less time once the juice is extracted.

Here's a trick I learned from an old-timer on youtube. I can't remember her name or her channel but she was processing crabapples like I was. The crab apples when I first took them off the tree didn't have any blemishes nothing had messed with them but I thought maybe I should cut a few open to make sure they were okay. They were fine but the task of cutting all of those crabapples was daunting. What this person did was they froze them all first for 24 hours. That did something to the cell structure. Then I just tossed those little crab apples in whole into steam juicer.

I still have my enamel stovetop steam juicer from Germany. Bought it late 80s ❤

Just food for thought. I was always told to take the first two jars of juice and pour them back over the top of the apples because they will be much more concentrated than the last juice to come off. That way the juice is more consistent in concentration.

As you were speaking about your grandson, I was choked up with tears. Blessed Be the Children.

Many years ago, I turned that apple pulp into fruit leather for the grandkids. It turned out beautifully too. Those gadgets, the mill and steam juicer really make preserving easy and so much less work that the jelly bag way of extracting. Wish I was more of an applesauce girl but I've never really enjoyed it in any way. But the different flavor profiles I tried for the fruit leathers was fun and the grands loved them. Think my fav was a pumpkin spice fruit roll up. But I used plums mixed in and other berries; different spices. so many ideas on line.

I have a waterbath canner. I'm getting a steam canner. It will be so much easier to use the steam canner. I'm a big guy and even at 77 it's handier.makes me want to buy a steam juicer.

Because of the thickness of the applesauce, it would be the perfect consistency for apple butter.

put a few marbles in bottom of water reservoir so you know when it is near dry. Also be really careful as I got a 2nd degree burn from the hose slipping and the juice burning me.

Use this to make grape juice! Works wonderful!

I am an avid thrifter and always look for preservation tools at secondhand stores. Technically, my steam juicer wasn't thrifted, I got it for free from my Buy-Nothing group. I've found 2 Victorios. The second one had the 3 sizes of strainer so I bought it, then sold the 1st one on Marketplace. After watching and waiting for a couple of years, just this week I found a steam canner.
Not only does the steam canner save energy and time but the house doesn't get as hot.

Been doing this for 30 years, ha ha. Living in the north, we could only grow crabapples and no way would I peel and core those. There is a third use for what's left...pig food & chicken food. They sure liked that.

I think it’s amazing that you donate half of your Amazon proceeds to Primary Children’s Hospital, I have a younger sister and a nephew that are still here because of the amazing care they received there. Thanks for your great videos.

I love my steamer-juicer. regular tomato juice makes canker sores for my husband, so I tried putting tomatoes through the steamer-juicer. The resulting 'essence of tomato' juice is delicious and canker sore free. I put the residue through the strainer and dehydrate it. The tomato 'leather', with different seasonings, can be eaten as it or used in cooking. No wastage. I've done this process with many fruits and, sometimes, veg. Or--fruit residue can become jam or sauce . The uses range from being an ingredient in popcicles to trifles. This year I plan to put cranberries through the SJ and dehydrate the residue for a addition to oatmea, fruit cobblers, or whatever my imagination can come up with.

What a marvelous tool!

I did the same thing with scuppernongs this year! I have the same juicer…. Juiced the grapes then ran the pulp left through a colander for fruit leather.
Sweetened the leather with honey and put it on large cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Put in the sun to dry.
After a couple of sunny days it had dried and I pulled the fruit leather sheet from the paper.
I cut it into strips and rolled it in cut wax paper strips. Put in a plastic bag. My college grandson loves them. Remember “fruit roll ups?” So much better without processed sugar or nasty additives.
Why didn’t I think of this sooner!

Just purchased a steamer juicer. Now I know what I’m going to do first ! Next, I’m going to find a Victorio. Thank you. Thank you !!

[mariehud]

Another lesson from Pam, I can’t thank you enough. I wish I was twenty years younger it would have saved me so much but I am glad I know now. Have a great day!

I used it by wrapping it around my leg when I broke my knee in two places .Im so short and not very big.I went to the Dr. One day, she asked me about it.She sent one of the office girls to go pick some up right then.

Game changer! Just picked 200+ lbs of pears. Apples coming soon. Never heard of a steam juicer until now. This opens a whole new panorama...
