Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Apple pie (or wonderfully healthy but sinfully good apples) in a jar...with cost analysis of pie vs make your own...also a link to an adventure to get apples and make applesauce last year...So you get 2 for the price of 1.
When a Facebook friend put out the word that she had some apple trees that needed picking I got super excited; yes, I would love some apples! And being that it was my birthday I actually talked my husband into going and picking some with me...
I have been getting some negative feedback about not being able to use cornstarch since it's so readily available. I wanted to show you what happens when you use this to can your pie fillings. It's clumpy and unstable and not appetizing by any means.
Just "put up" this apple pie filling now (during apple season), and you will enjoy locally-grown apple pie in the middle of winter! A quart size jar will make one 8-9 inch pie OR a terrific gift at the holidays! What could be better than that??
