- In this video, I will show you how I manage to batch cook and can 120 lbs of apple efficiency. With the right equipment you can preserve and save money buy canning food safely at home. I only spent $36 on 120 pounds of apples and I will be able to can 40 quarts of apple sauce. With food prices going up and up, you too can save money by putting up food in a pantry. I followed the directions in the Ball Blue book.

Thats quite a prosess set up you have there! And all the while you focused on cleanliness and using a safe recipe. Thats why are you're awesome!
Thank you for the very kind words! That means a lot to me!
I thought 2 bushels was a lot 😮 you processed that bundle of apples in quick time.
$ 9.00 a bushel was a steal of a deal, You're a great shopper
Thank you! I try to be very fugal!
How much is a bushel? Please.
@@BeeLane-qr9fnIt’s 48 pounds. At the beginning of the season, I bought apples for apple dumplings for $25 a bushel!
4 pecks or about 40 to 50 pounds@@BeeLane-qr9fn
There's nothing like getting a great deal on fresh produce. It's just the best!
I just love the smell of apples cooking!
I do my applesauce canning almost exactly like you, but a few yrs ago i discovered just quartering (not trimming cores, etc) and putting in my instant pot for 3 or 4 minutes on high pressure, then running them through my KA food mill. It makes really quick work of it. No waiting for boiling.
I really like the way you start your processing routine a very clean and prepped kitchen is so essential. Especially CLEAN!
Thank you so very much for the kind words!
Holy Christmas, that's a lot of apples!!!
Loved watching. Im one person. Lol. This was good to see. Great ideas
I’m glad it was helpful. I forgot to mention in the video you can puree the sauce then put in refrigerator then the next day heat it up and can.
Awesome deal on apples!!!🙌🏻
Agree 💯 the key is preparing everything ahead! Clean everything sinks counters jars tools and have everything set out and ready to rock & roll! Makes for a much easier enjoyable canning day!
Doing a big batch of apple pie carrots I got in my food CoOp while watching! I love watching my favorite peeps canning while I’m canning so it feels almost like I’m working with a friend to get it all done!
Love having applesauce on hand for muffins-cakes-baked oats-bbq sauce and just eating for a snack or warm with butter and cinnamon at breakfast 😋
Good job! One person can do anything! I make tamales by myself over 2 days. What a great sense of accomplishment when finished. Skills!!!
Great job LeAnne!! I could not have done that, you are so good at what you do! I enjoy your videos!❤
Thank you so much!
Your method is exactly the same as my mother used. I've tried other methods but this one is the best.
That's great
Please share how I can buy? Great price and I want to support local farmers.
I live in an area known for growing apples so I can pull up to the farmers produce stand by them straight from them. I understand most people don't have that kinda of access. Yes Please support the Farmers directly if you are able to!
oh my LeAnne, thats a lot of apples. I have one of those peeler/corer contraptions and use my instant pot and an immersion blender. So easy.
I used the instant pot for some of it and it cooked the apples down too much for my liking.
Wow. What a great deal you got. Thanks for the video
I feel the exact same way about washing the rings!! 😂
Right?
You are set for a while. Your process is spot on. I'm a cleanliness crazy person when it comes to canning.
Yes, between this and the pear sauce I think we have enough!
Wow! That’s a good deal on the apples. I need to upgrade my equipment. Thank you LeAnne! Have a great week. Wendy🦉🐞🇺🇸🙏🏻
The applesauce looks lovely! I usually run the "apple pulp" through again to get more product.
Thank you!
So so so many apples. You always work so hard.
Wow. I had anxiety looking at all those apples. You flew right through them. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow a lot of applesauce. Well done!
That is a lot of apples! I'm afraid that I would be too overwhelmed to get started! Great job!
Just gotta pace your self! I got potatoes and onions in the cellar that need attention next!
Inspiring. Thanks.
That was a lot of work but so satisfying & looked so gorgeous in the finished jars.
I love using apples in breads ,pan cakes , muffins ,and best of all in oatmeal cookies !
Thank you for sharing this great recipe for canning applesauce. You never wasted a minute while you were canning. What an inspiration you are.
Thank you for the very kind words!
Good info here. Thank you!
Awesome instructions!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you for a great video. Thank you for sharing.
Years ago i purchased a Squeezo food puree machine. Great investment! We would buy 15 bushels every year. Assembly line it with helpers and could do 4 or 5 bu in a day. Apple sauce, butter, pie slices and spicy mincemeat for our large family.
Thank you for the tips
Great information. Don't think I can ever find such a good deal on apples.
Thanks for watching!
Gurl you were a work horse today. Applesauce looks amazing. Thanks for sharing your process with us. God bless.
I thank you for this Leanne 😊
Did 5 bushel of peaches one summer day !!! Did them in quarts plus got to buy a new freezer upright one for the pies I made that time !!! Still have that upright freezer since 1977 !!! Am glad you had everything you needed there !!! I had a husband who peeled the peaches for me !!! So that helped me out a lot then !!! In that weekend bought more sugar & flour plus shortening for pie crusts !!! Daughter was the one who squished the flour with shortening for Momma then she was only 4yrs old and a great helper for Momma !!! She loved those peach pies in the winter time !!!
Thanks for sharing that freezer is as old as me! I bet, we love peach pie!
That was fun to watch!
Great job Leanne! That was a lot of apples. Thanks for sharing
HELLO, I found out about u while watching Homesteading with the Zimmerman's. I'm looking forward to your videos. 🤗 🎉
Welcome!! I am so glad you are here Linda! I hope you find my content worth while!
Yay! I’m so glad to see you again! Hope you had a blessed Christmas and a happy new year!🎆
Happy 🍎 🍏 making!
I'm glad to be back. I had a good holiday! No farming issues, sometime years we have had major problems. I hope you had a good Holiday season. Have a Blessed weekend!
What great tips 👍😊
what a blessing!!
Good morning Leanne, wowza.
That's alot of applesauce.
Great price on all those apples.
Beautiful as always. ❤
Have a wonderful day.
Thank you! You too!
I love your set up system . I do something similar, it just makes the process go smoother.
Wonderful tutorial!
Glad you think so!
Great video! So glad to see you!
Thank you!! 😊
Thank You for sharing this was awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I ever thought about making my applesauce in my instant pot, brilliant!
Just make sure you only cook it for 1 minute or less on high. I find doing that cooks the apple a little too long but it makes cooking them down so much easier.
Great video LeAnne. You are amazing to be able to get all those apples done in one session. My ears perked up when you mentioned Norwex. I have been a consultant for 7 years and I have to agree the netted dish cloth is one of my favorite tools in the kitchen. It’s amazing picking up flour on the counter after a pie making session. ❤ I have missed seeing your videos. Glad you are back! 😊
i am also a consultant in Saskatchewan Canada and was so happy when she mentioned Norwex. Amazing video !
I use to be a snob when I would see the price of the cloths and other norwex items and think why are they so expensive. Now, I am soo in love with them. I only wish I can find something that will clean my stove top. One of these days I will ask my neighbor for some of that paste & degreaser to see if that works!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse the paste with a spirisponge (it doesn’t scratch) is amazing. The paste will last you a very long time so it is worth it. Definitely ask for a sample. ❤️
Awesome to see the whole workflow from start to finish, thanks so much for showing. You're such a hard worker! Enjoy the applesauce in all its forms.
Thanks so much!
Great video! You really explain everything very well. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
You definitely have it going on girl! Awesome job. Thank you for sharing this process start to finish. You rocked it out, as usual. I love my Norwex clothes too. They are the best.
Thanks Leeann. Great demonstration of making applesauce. Love your videos
Thanks for watching!
Happy New Year! Great job on conquering that giant task!
Thanks so much!
Brilliant hun what a huge job but if anyone could do it it was definitely you xox
I love my Norwex! Great video. Useful and direct.
I love my Norwex too!
LeAnne thanks so much for this tutorial. You make it look easy! Can't wait to try making apple sauce.
You are so welcome!
Wish I lived close by! I'd be glad to help you! And yes, washing the rings are a pain!
Awww!
Oh my those will make lots of yummy food
Thanks for the video. I look each day for you.
Enjoy your life.
Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness all those apples! What a blessing! And thank you for sharing how you process them! 13:34 and I’m with you on the dried on food on the kitchen equipment. That is the worst! Thank you so much for sharing this LeeAnn! 😊❤
Tammy, I was thinking of you when I editing this video when I remembered you saying you appreciate all the little details.
All those recipes are tasty ...!!!
Hi LeAnn! What a deal on the apples. Golden delicious apples do make good sugar free applesauce.
I used to use my roaster oven to cook down the apples since that was one of my kids favorites was applesauce and I could never make enough, lol.
I bet your chickens loved the scarps.
Didn’t hubby make a jig that stirs the pot, that would have helped you. Maybe I’m getting it wrong LeAnn, it might be my feeble mind.
I don’t like washing the rings either, but it has to be done.
Good job processing all those apples.
Have a blessed weekend!
What a great job. I usually just eat the applesauce as is so we usually use pints. I also make applesauce muffins . Thanks for sharing this tutorial. Have a blessed weekend.
Thanks Crystal!! You have a Blessed weekend as well!
Great set up for this huge canning session and you rocked the cleanliness part of the sink and counters importance as well as using an approved/safe recipe. AND your kitchen is just beautiful!
Thank you Mouse! I learn from the best!
LeAnn... You done an amazing job.
Thank you so much!
I just got that book! I’m so glad to see someone as talented as yourself has it, that makes me feel like it’s a worthy investment
That is my go to book!
So much work! I think it would overwhelm me to have that much at 1 time. You're amazing
Thank you so much!
Good job, thank you. Love my Norwex. If you don't already have try the window cleaning and polishing clothes.
Yes I have a neighbor ( a Norwex consultant) that has had taken lots of my money. She keeps me well stocked. I even have given the e cloths and window cloths as Christmas presents.
Bless your heart. I could hardly get through 25 lbs
That was a lot of work. Nice job! 👍👍😋
Thanks 👍
Great video, LeAnne! You got a great deal, and the applesauce looks tasty! I always read my recipe three times, because it seems like if I don’t, I get started and don’t have one crucial ingredient, haha!
Thank you!!
You have brought ack some wonderful memories of making apple sauce with m grandma! Thank you! Next time I have my grandkids guess what we re doing!
You need to invest in a pasta pot just so you don’t have to dump the apples into a colander to drain them. I use my pasta pot all the time to blanch vegetables when processing them. I never use it for pasta but it is so handy for other projects. I got mine at a second hand store.
Oh I never thought of that. Thanks for mentioning it.
I never thought of that but I own two pasta pots. I agree it’s handy for blanching! That’s why I have two!
I always question whether a canning recipe means weight before peeling and slicing or after. That's one thing that always aggravates me because most do not specify.
New sub. Love your tutorials
Welcome! I’m so glad you are here!
I got a half bushel of Granny Smith apples in the early fall from a Ward member. It was my first time to home can applesauce, spiced pear apple jam and pie filling. I have made homemade applesauce for my babies when they could start having soft foods but never canned then. I am still fairly new to home canning. And you have a lovely kitchen.
I am so proud of you for getting started. I hope you find the time you put into food preservation and building a pantry becomes very rewarding. Just having food on the shelves is security. And I love shopping shelves, and not having go to the grocery store.
I grew up in Appalachia Kentucky. Canning and preserving foods was a natural part of our lives. We did this every year all of my life. I am very skilled on how to can or preserve pretty much any type of fruit vegetable or meat that you can think of. Now if you want something really yummy go to the dollar store and buy some red hots candies. Put one package of those in with 2 quarts of your applesauce and cook on the lowest heat setting until the red hots melt. After they are all melted you will have 2 quarts of the most yummy applesauce ever.
One of my church sisters Only makes applesauce with red hots. They will not eat it any other way.
I love to use applesauce instead of oil when baking
Applesauce is always a staple in my pantry
My Granny and aunties used to can in August, in a kitchen without air conditioning. Only two fans.
Yes! I know that feeling. My parents didn’t have AC until I moved out.
Oh Wow!! You get an A+ for a BIG job well done!!☺ I never knew about applesauce substitute for oil. Much healthier. Thank you. and God Bless🥰
Glad it was helpful!
Haven’t seen you for awhile. Glad to see a video. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Was sick for Christmas celebration was after. I wish I could go straight to the farmers. Around here they chase that dollar they would rather through it out.
Merry Christmas! I believe you're the only one who wished me a merry Christmas so I am grateful for you. I hope you had a good holiday. Yes, I wish everybody had the chance to go see the farmer for fresh food.
I love my Norwex too. I will have to do a big batch of applesauce this year. I don’t add sugar either, especially with yellow delicious. They seem so naturally sweet!
Sounds great!
Great job, i would be so overwhelming for me to start. But like yourself when you have a end goal in sight. You will do it . Once again well done ❤
Thank you so much! my parents taught me work ethic on the farm.
@@MennoniteFarmhouse same here but it was from our nan, she would always tell us that by the sweat of your brow you will eat bread. As kids i can remember my uncle when he wanted to teach us how to sing would tell us who sing the best would get the biggest one of what ever he was giving away. Funny we would all practice as we all wanted the biggest one.
OMG!!! Id be terrified!
LEANNE!! SO JEALOUS! YOU'RE TRULY AMAZING!! LOVE YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL CONTENT.. MAYBE SOMEDAY I'LL GET TO MEET YOU IN PERSON ❤ HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
Happpy New Year!!
This is so pretty and looks yummy ❤❤❤
Greetings from Lebanon Pennsylvania
Hi! I have been there a few times!
We eat unsweetened applesauce on its own with yogurt and also oatmeal. I use applesauce to reduce the amount of oil in baking
I love mine with cottage cheese and cinnamon.
I'm new to your channel, you made making apple sauce seem easy 😊
Welcome Ann! I am so glad you're here, and I hope you enjoy the content of my channel.
I processed this much alone too this Fall! I made a lot of unsweetened applesauce, a little apple jam, dehydrated and froze a lot too. I was happy to see the bottom of the last box. I hope you have been well, I see you have been busy!
Yes! Virginia I have been keeping busy canning chicken, pineapple, cranberries and now apples!! Knock on wood but I cabt remember the last time I had a cold.
I always wondered if you were supposed to weigh your apples before slicing and coring vs the whole apple wgt in the 10 pounds? What do y’all think I’ve never actually found the correct answer? Such a great buy!
Same here, I believe it before you cut it up and peel it
So glad to see you back. I was getting worried. Love this video because I have never made my own applesauce. You have made it look so easy so I am saving this video. God Bless Where did you get your food scale? I would love to get one.
If you ever get worried, feel free to write me an email! I believe I got the scale from Walmart over 14 years ago.
Soft baked applesauce cookies are delicious as is fresh baked applesauce pie. 😋
I have made applesauce pie. It’s wonderful.
@@MennoniteFarmhouse I wasn't familiar with it but I married into an Amish family and was introduced to lots of yummy treats. 😋
Thank you for showing me how to conquer a huge amount of apples. Do you have the link for the Norwex dish cloth?
How many quarts did u make from 120 lbs?
I got 43 quarts! and husband says its the best tasting applesauce he has had!!
I don't have your washcloth for cleaning the KA screen and metal auger spring so I use a dedicated nail brush and it does a great job.
That is a great idea!
Wow, lots of work but worth it!
Yes it was!
Have you ever saved the cores and my peels or stuff you have left from running them through the food mill, to boil them with cinnamon sticks, for at least 24 hours? I then strain the apple water, add good vanilla to it, and make apple scrap jelly! "Waste not Want not" is my new motto!
I probably have when I haven’t had so much work to do. I’m using one that says waste not want not.
I can all my apples in a very light simple syrup. I used to make a bunch of different stuff. But I take the apples in simple syrup hit with immersion blender and makes apple sauce. Or thicken and make apple pie filling or heat slices and season to your taste and serve as a side dish . And I use my Apple peeler corer to make it go quicker.
Oh and the peels and cores are frozen in bags and when I get enough for a stock pot I make what I call juke jelly . And if you have pear peels and cores they make a great combo. Waste not want not.
