Steps:
- Prepare boiling water canner. Heat jars in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Wash lids in warm soapy water and set bands aside.
- Combine apples with just enough water to prevent sticking in a large stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 20 minutes, until apples are tender (time will depend upon the variety of apple and their maturity). Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer apples, working in batches, to a food mill or a food processor fitted with a metal blade and purée until smooth.
- Return apple purée to saucepan. Add sugar, if using, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Maintain a gentle boil over low heat while filling jars.
- Ladle hot applesauce into hot jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band until fit is fingertip tight.
- Process jars in a boiling water canner for 20 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed.

CANNING APPLESAUCE {PRESERVING APPLES}
Steps:
- Prepare your water bath canner by filling it with water. You just need to have enough water to cover the jars by 2 inches once the water is boiling.
- Set the canner on the stove. Turn the burner to high. Once it reaches a boil, reduce it to simmer. You want to keep the water hot so that everything is ready when the applesauce is.
- Wash and sanitize your jars. You'll want to keep them warm to avoid having them crack when placed in the canner. You can fill them with hot water, or place them on a tray in the oven at 200 degrees F.
- Wash your lids and set aside in clean place. You no longer need to simmer lids in water to keep them sterile.
- Set a medium/large pot of water to medium high on your stove.
- Wash your apples and cut into eighths, or more if you have particularly large apples.
- Add apples to the hot water and cook until they have softened (1-5 minutes depending on your type of apple).
- Remove using a slotted spoon and place in a strainer set into a large bowl.
- Run the apples through a food mill to remove the seeds and skins. Keep warm until ready to can (I use my slow cooker set to warm).
- Return the burner to high and bring the water in the canner back to a rapid boil.
- Using a canning funnel, ladle in the warm applesauce into jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Remove any bubbles from the jar (I use a plastic chopstick).
- Use a wet clean rag and wipe the rim of the jars to make sure it is free of any food.
- Place a clean lid on the jar. Add a ring, and tighten to fingertip tight.
- Lower your jars into the canner using canning tongs/jar lifter.
- Secure the lid and set the timer for 15 minutes for pints or 20 minutes for quarts. For canning at different altitudes, check out the guide in the post for adjusted processing times.
- When the time is up, turn off the stove and let the jars sit for 5 minutes in the canner and then lift them out with canning tongs.
- Place hot jars on a towel where they can sit undisturbed for 12 hours.
- Pretty soon you'll start hearing some "pops and pings" which are the sounds of the jars sealing.
- After a few hours, to check for sealing, gently press down in the middle of the lid. If the lid has no give, it's sealed. If you can press the lid in and it pops a bit, your jars are not sealed. You can reprocess them or store them in the fridge or freezer (only freeze jars that are wide mouth).
