Canned Apple Slices

Gather

Ingredients

• 19 lb firm juicy apples per 7 quarts
• Water or very light, light, or medium canning syrup

Preserve

Instructions

1. 01

   Wash firm, juicy apples; peel, core, and slice them. An ascorbic-acid holding solution may be used to limit browning.

2. 02

   For each 5 lb of drained slices, add 1 pint of water or prepared very light, light, or medium syrup. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring often enough to prevent scorching.

3. 03

   Place the hot slices and liquid in hot pint or quart jars. Leave 1/2-inch headspace, release air bubbles, wipe the rims, and apply the lids.

4. 04

   At 0-1,000 ft, process pints or quarts for 20 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Increase the time.
