Recipe that I used for Cheese Its.

NOTE: When I made this recipe as directed it they tasted very bland. The second time I tried this recipe I added ¼ cup parmesan cheese and they were much better. I checked the ingredients of Cheese Its and they have paprika in them so next time I'll add some paprika. Ironically, 255sage and I were trying to make Cheese Its at the same time. Hers look like they rise better than these.

I followed this like you did and it looks like it came out absolutely beautiful !!  Omg, thank gosh there was a 1/2 of a cup left so I could eat it, it was so good I almost didnt want to can the rest. After I took them out of the water bath, I noticed little pockets here and there, it looks like air bubbles. What do I do? Should I open them, press out the bubbles, re-sterilize the lids again then boil them over again? I don't want to lose 9 wide mouth pints. 16 cups/6 lbs apples = 9 pints

@chivone21 They should be fine. I end up with a few little bubbles too. I think they come from the apples as they are cooking in the canning process. Foods have air in them and as they cook the air is released. Ordinarily that air ends up in the top of the jar but since the pie filling is so thick it can't make it's way up there. The pie filling IS awesome, be sure to try the peach pie filling too.

Mam, you sound so nice!!! What a nice video, thanks so much for putting this on. I was wondering, I don't have a blue pot like you have, I have the All American Pressure Canner.  I was wondering, if I don't bolt it down, and leave the pressure weight off the vent, can I use this? Will it act as a regular pot? Thanks for any input.

@chivone21 I've heard that people use their All Americans that way. Happy canning!

@imstillworkin Oh boy I should have waited for you because that is a excellent price. I ended up paying $7.95 a pound and thought that was really good compared to amazon's of 12.00. I will definatly keep shady maple market on my bookmarks for future use though. Thank you.

@Harvestera I bought my ClearJel at Prepared Pantry I think. 

[imstillworkin]

@Harvestera I bought mine from a website called Shady Maple Farm Market. It's $3.21 for 1.35 pounds.

I found ClearJel at a website called The Ingredient Store. On sale for $7.95 for a 16 ounce package. That's the cheapest price I found so far. Looking forward to trying the product.

@imstillworkin I will go insearch of a video on making these. I make pies at work. So I don't want to make any at home. But turnovers sound good or apple crisp or apple anything else. Take care...
