Home Canning in a Boiling Water Bath, Apple Juice

[Cleevus]

great job. enjoyed it very much

[goncaloveiga]

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing! I was wondering if you know how long the food will last in the can? Thank you in advance!

[TheMrsVolfie]

I wash and rinse my jars and then bake them at 200 degrees in the oven for 15 minutes..then I leave them in there until I need them..it keeps them out of the way..sterile..and leaves my canner available right away.

love yr kitchen assistant!

[MsNobody62]

Can you can other fruit juice like peaches?

[thenewsurvivalist]

@MsNobody62 You can can just about anything if you have the recipe book.

[stromak]

How long have you boild the juice for? Or just bring to the boil and fill in immediately? Thank you, great vid! How long does the canned juice last for?

[thenewsurvivalist]

@stromak Just bring it to a simmer. That's all that's necessary. Canned foods will last for many years but they deteriorate in quality (taste and nutrition.) I recommend you use it within three years but I have kept it longer without any problems. As long as the seal is intact (the button on the top stays down) it won't poison you no matter how old it is.

[stromak]

@thenewsurvivalist Thank you for reply :) lots of apples now from garden, so we cann sliced fruit and mash (like baby mash mixed in with other fruits and like to drink it just like that in winter :) but the canned juice is great idea! Gonna try this season. Cheers! :)

[ShePreps2]

Good stuff! I'm adding juice to my to-do list. Thanks for taking the time to illustrate this.

You need a gun in your back pocket when you are making Apple Juice?! lol

[thenewsurvivalist]

@Fontanafamily Most definitely. It keeps the juice thieves away.

bottling cider makes a lot more sense to me. Although in order for it to keep well, it needs to harden so as to produce alcohol(which also preserves it) and if it is bottled before all the sugars are gone, the CO2 produced will keep the oxygen out .(when it stops bubbling, the sugar is gone. so add a teaspoon of sugar in your bottle). All you need is a glass jug, an air lock of some kind($3, or you can make one with tube and a glass of water) and a cool place. also: bottles, caps, and a capper!

[thenodnarb]

@Dustycajungurl

no need to add sugar to apple cider. There is a TON of sugar already! If its too tart from green apples, just mix in as many sweet apples. It will blend nicely

[thenewsurvivalist]

@Dustycajungurl Yes, certainly, you can add sugar to taste.

[pukeluke2020]

i am not mad at you with your gun.

[FREEDOMFIGHTER1967]

I like your Crossbreed holster, arent those one of the most comfortable gun holsters ever ?

[thenewsurvivalist]

@FREEDOMFIGHTER1967 So comfortable that I forget I am wearing it, like when I was making this video. I discuss this holster in detail in my video about concealed carry.

[randallsellis]

Thank you for this informative video.  I wish you the best in the days ahead.

[scrm1]

Hey Doc, Do you ever can meats? I saw some canned ground beef that was said to have a shelf life of 10 yrs. (yoder's)

[tigergirl205]

@scrm1 You can meat in a pressure canner and home canned meat is good for one to one and a half years. be sure to follow all the directions for your canner DO NOT try to can meat in a water bath canner. it will not be safe to eat. Always can according to a tested and approved recipe and adjust for evlivation home canning can be fun and safe if you take the time to do it right. NEVER CUT CORNERS when home canning you could get very sick.

[cynan48]

Can we see a video showing pressure canning?

[jamesinky]

Great video! I was wanting to try canning for the first time this year and the vid helps a lot. Can you do another vid canning meat? Whats the differance between cider and just juice?

[RayL661]

Doc, that is awesome. First off, I wish I had trees that gave up that much fruit..birds get most of it.. How do you keep them off?

Do you tighten the band all the way right out of the water bath, or wait until it cools?

You have a sidearm too..+++

I have learned alot from your vids. We did up a rabbit as per your videos last week.

Anything to look out for with wild cottontails? We cooked him up, no problems..but people always say they have parasites.Thank you in advance.

[thenewsurvivalist]

@RayL661 When you put the band on screw it on to the jar just until a point of resistance is met. Do not use force or over tighten. Don't tighten the bands at any point after this or it can break the seal, especially when it is hot.

Any wild animals can have parasites, even domestic ones for that matter. They are killed when you cook it so they won't hurt you.

Birds get my cherries. I just have to try to beat them to them. You can hang aluminum pie plates which might help some. Thanks!!!

[charronfamilyconnect]

Thanks for your amazingly quick reply! I enjoy your videos!! You have a DVD that is a cumulation of all your survival videos? I would like one if you do. Thanks again! Peace out!

[thenewsurvivalist]

@charronfamilyconnect No I don't have a DVD of all my survival videos but that sounds like a great idea that I will consider. With the govt threatening to censor the internet such a DVD could come in handy some day!

[charronfamilyconnect]

How long did you boil the apple juice for in the original pot? Thanks!

[thenewsurvivalist]

@charronfamilyconnect I just brought it up to a boil, or really a simmer, and then started filling the jars.

[tracycolorado]

Thank you , Doc , can you tell us what the shelf life would be ? Just love your little kitchen helpers .

[thenewsurvivalist]

@tracycolorado There is no shelf life rule carved in stone. All stored foods gradually deteriorate in quality & vitamins with time and it depends on storage temp. No noticeable loss in quality within the first 2-3 years. After years 3- 5 there may be a slight loss in quality (won't taste quite as good) but the food will still have nutritional value. From 5-10 years there will be definite loss in quality that you can taste & possibly see but you can still eat it. Try to eat it within 3-5 yrs.
