APPLE PIE, COBBLER; Canning post

Apple Pie Filling Canning - October 2011
Mom just canned the apples and added the following ingredients later, plus enough corn starch and water from a canned apple pie filling.
Photo is just plain apples, no spices. You can make canned apple pie filling at home, no artificial sugars (even adjust the amount of sugar to your tastes before you put up in jars.) If you have a apple tree or access to a neighbors this is an survival recipe. Mom just canned the apples added in spices then added the corn starch to thicken at the last minute before adding in a pic shell. Or, you can add tapioca or Clear- jel...to your family's liking of thickness of the sauce or drain the juices and add corn starch last min. before baking. Use in any apple recipes; cobblers, turn overs i.e. My apple pies don't turn out unless I cook the apples first....
(makes 6 or 7 quarts)
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
*2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
*1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
{or...2 teaspoons apple pie spice (or, use the cinnamon and nutmeg above.) (taste the product before canning for the amount you desire.}
10 cups water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
8 to 9 pounds of tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 16 cups of sliced apples)
In a large saucepan blend the first five dry ingredients. Stir in 10 cups water, cook on medium-high heat; stir until thickened and bubbly; cook an additional 2 minutes.
Add lemon juice; Add apples to the sauce. Stir constantly bringing mixture up to a rolling boil; cook 1 minute.
Promptly ladle mixture into jars, leaving 1/2 inch at the top. Adjust lids and boiling water bath for 25 minutes.1 quart of pie filling yields one 9 inch pie.

This makes a delicious pie or even cobbler, however, you may not have access to tapioca so if you would prefer to use Clear Jel, you may. Use 2 tablespoons per quart of filling, so for the amount of apples in this recipe you need about 14 tablespoons.
This one is a bit different.
Apple Pie Filling
10 pounds tart apples – peeled, cored and sliced
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cup Clearjel
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 1/2 cups cold water
5 cups apple juice
1/2-3/4 cup bottled lemon juice
In this recipe you first want to boil your apple slices. This cooks the apples and keeps them from shrinking so much once they are cooked in the canner, and from making your jars look like they are missing some apples.
Bring a large kettle of water to a boil. Add about 1 quart of apple slices at a time and bring the water back to a boil. strain the apple slices out of the boiling water and add the next batch of apple slices. Keep the boiled apples covered while you are boiling the rest of them. Once you’re done, you can empty out the water because you will need the kettle. (Make a beverage from the water.)
In your large kettle, preferably heavy-bottomed, add the sugar, Clear-Jel, nutmeg and cinnamon. Add the water and stir. Turn up the heat and cook the mixture until it is thick, bubbly and smooth. Turn off heat.
Add the apple slices and lemon juice. Stir.
Fill hot jars 3/4 full of apples and syrup. Top of each jar with syrup to within 1 inch of the rim of the jars.
Run a plastic or rubber spatula around the inside of the jars to release air bubbles.
Clean off the rims with a clean, wet cloth.
Add lids and rings.
Water bath the jars for 25 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to sit on a dishcloth on the cabinet. Allow the jars to remain undisturbed over night.
Makes 6 or 7 quarts. Apple seeds contain "trace" elements of *cyanide and there is some disagreement as to the actual quantity that would be required in order to "kill anyone." The seeds of one apple will probably NOT do the deed. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! Nor the crushing of its seeds when making cider. How many years have we been doing it....?

RE: http://roosterpolitics.blogspot.com/2011/05/parasite-readings-of-iris.html "Apple seeds as well as all seeds are first an anti fungal. Each seed has their own ways and purposes to healing. Apple Seeds: are small and have some cyanide (HCN) (cyanide has an antidote herb which is Lobelia, and B 12 and can reduce negative effects of vitamin B17.) "
They are only toxic if in large doses BUT so is too much acid juice of any kind. (Our bodies produce natural arsenic-cyanide...) The pips have a tough protective coating which will make it even less of a risk. You may even desire some of these healing component's.
Apple pips can be pulverized, pressed, juiced and broken, masticated but the amygdalin is housed and remains safely contained within...and, will go thought the digestive track in tact without any problems.
''Another sources of these cyanide is the Cassava Root favored by many in Africa. Westerners know the plant as tapioca.) The seeds kills germs, bacteria, fungi, e coli and algae i.e
Cyanide's are produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and algae and are naturally found in a number of plants. This non-chemical Cyanide's are found, although in small amounts, in certain seeds and fruit stones, e.g., those of apple, mango, peach, and bitter almonds. In plants, cyanide's are usually bound to sugar molecules in the form of cyanogenic glycosides that defends the plant against herbivores. Cassava roots (also called Manioc), an important potato-like food grown in tropical countries (and the base from which tapioca is made), also contain cyanogenic glycosides.''

In my training I was taught to eat the whole apple except for the stem and have been doing it for years, with no ill effects. Scriptures: Even the 'organic' or original "seed...leaf thereof for medicine" is claimed as in Bible's history as a healthy folk remedy...
It when we abuse natures natural handling of seeds, juices of fruits uses, which juicing so much is really un natural and more of a problem than eating its seeds, (see; Parasite posts) which not in it's original whole form and drank instead of water.
(I know by experience that a child given too much juice will rot their teeth out ... I believe we're are getting to much propaganda to eat too much fruit stemming from the government who can't make up their minds on what food pyramid to use today. And, most forget juices are TOO much sugars....and goes a long way.
Dr Oz. went too far with the arsenic end of this matter....but, believe what you will....and his disciples will!
http://jarvissa.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-kill-yourself-with-apple-seeds.html Even so, these seeds have to be pulverized or masticated and may not work because they are not a chemical (drug) I think this is suppose to be a 'pun' post. You would have a huge headache! My point here is some crushed seeds are not dangerous in juice. However, here' s another example of defiling natures law's. All herbs have to be respected and used correctly
* Gen. 1: 11-12, 29-30..."... And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so." These are seeds natures "vermifuges" that kill all " diseases." Did your d0ct0r teach you how to use them?
