My great aunt Bessie made this oink applesauce with jello powder..I am not sure exactly how she made it but it was delicious . This recipe is as close as i remember . sweet apples include red delicious, Fuji, Gala, yellow delicious, Jonagold, Cortland, Macintosh and others. 6 pounds of whole apples should give u about 12 cups of chopped apples. I can this. Ingredients:
6 lbs sweet apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1/8 cup white sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 tablespoon strawberry gelatin |
1 pinch salt |
2 pinches cinnamon |
Directions:
1. 1. Combine all the ingredients in a heavy pot. Over medium-high heat bring to a boil.
2. 2.) Lower heat and cook, stirring ofter while breaking up the apples, until apples are very soft. If the applesauce is getting too thick then add a bit more water.
3. 3.) Immediately pour into prepared canning jars. Cover and process 20 minutes OR if to be used within 3 days, chill in the refrigerator.
