Making Apple Pie Filling and Home Canning
Apple Pie a la mode can be served at any dinner party.
We think it's best to use a tart apple and like to add a little
cinnamon and nutmeg. You might also try Clear Gel as it's
a modified cornstarch that works a little more easily in
canning. Even for the seasoned home canner, our Video 2
is a good refresher for safe home canning practices.
Remember to follow food safety instructions and select
blemish free fruit. We always prefer organic fruit without
pesticides. We add lemon juice to most recipes to help
protect the color.
