Right now in NYC I do a little jam here and there which I refrigerate immediately and consume. (I am as well a bit nervous about preserving and keeping on a shelf). What is the typically shelf life when canning! Looking forward to a canning class soon. :)laura lucianohttp://www.outeastfoodie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-68825583878935171112013-03-11T22:51:17.184-04:002013-03-11T22:51:17.184-04:00Well, well listen to you, I can "hear" t...Well, well listen to you, I can "hear" the excitement in your "voice." <br /><br />I myself have never canned a single thing ever, it surprises me because I think it's such a wonderful way of preserving summer's bounty. I always have this fear of making someone/anyone deathly sick. I know, I should just get past it.<br /><br />Congratulations to you and your hearty persistence. Just thinking about future meals with that apple butter sends me in a whirl. Pork with Apple Butter comes to mind:)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, T.W.

I did not know you can make apple butter without the sugar. Be warned: Jellies and Jams take ALOT of sugar. But you only use a teaspoon at a time on the bread. I Love the Blue Ball Book. Someone made off with mine, probably me making the mistake of letting someone borrow it and never returning it. Glad you got to experience that. I see a lot of jars with food in them lining your cabinets in the future.

I often stick my products in the fridge 'just in case" so I don't sicken my house. Silly, right? Your apple butter looks lovely. I need to eat through my jars before starting any more!!

Apple butter and pickles were some of the first things i learned to can.<br /><br />Your apple butter is going to be delicious on your toast as a gift for a friend. Wait till after spring/summer harvest. The canning options are endless.<br /><br />I have romantic notions of canning tomatoes this season. Last season, my tomatoes were not plentiful enough (sigh).<br /><br />VelvaVelvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034246333318823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-39672333187140036722013-03-04T09:20:33.701-05:002013-03-04T09:20:33.701-05:00I probably shouldn't commit this to the ether ...I probably shouldn't commit this to the ether because purists will go for my jugular, but I can't resist pointing out that canning kettles are also perfect vessels for cooking lobster or complete shore dinners. Putting food by is an enormously satisfying effort. I think it appeals to the pioneer instinct in all of us. Your apple butter sounds delicious and I can't wait for harvest season to see what else you plan to share with us. Have a wonderful day.

Caroline's recipe reminds me of my mother, who, although a fabulous cook, never would commit her recipes to paper. There's a lot to be said for people who can cook by feel and taste. I'm glad to see she didn't kill it with sugar too. <br /><br />Very nice post T.W.
