applesauce processing time?

[furbabymom]

My Blue Book has disappeared - can someone please give me the water bath processing time for pints?

 

Also - can I cook it tonight and can it tomorrow if I bring it up to a boil again right before I put it in the jars?

 

Thank you!

Pints=15 minutes at 1,000 ft.

20 minutes at 1,001-6,000 ft.

25 minutes above 6,000 ft.

 

Yes you can put it in the fridge overnight and bring back to a boil before putting it in the jars. Good luck!

Applesauce....Boiling water bath canner....Pints 20 mins....Quarts....25 mins.

 

You can also can in the pressure canners.....Dial gauge... hot pack....pints 8 mins, quarts 10 mins, at 7 lbs. pressure.

Weighted-gauge...pints 8 mins, quarts 10 mins. at 10 lbs. pressure.

 

These times are for KY., so don't know if they are different for other areas.

 

I often make the applesauce one day and can the next. Just watch it carefully, since it is easy to scorch. It really is quicker to make and can, at one time, since it is almost boiling hot anyway, and once it is, just throw it in the jars. It takes a long time, of watching, to get cold applesauce to come to a boil.

 

Good luck!

I agree with what they said. I follow the times that Wormie gave.

If you need to find information and you have no book, if you will bookmark this site you can find out most anything and not have to wait for an answer.

Thanks everybody! Violet - that's a great site - can't wait to explore it more!

 

mom11 - I figure it'll take about as long for the applesauce to get hot as it will for the water to boil in my canning kettle, LOL! That thing takes FOREVER...
