Apple Sauce

[judypark]

I would like to make some and preserve it in jars, I've found a couple of recipes but neither say how long it will safely keep in jars and I cant see anything in the ingredients that would act as preservtive. Any advice or recipes would be welcome.

You could freeze it in an ice cube tray and once frozen transfer the cubes to a bag. That way you can take out as much or as little as you need for each meal.

We can lots of stuff and due tot the abundance of apples here in the western U.S., apple products are always canned. Applesauce is one of the easiest since it doesn't require cooking. We get about 12 to 14 quarts per bushel of average sized apples. I believe the sweeter the variety the better, but others like the tarter flavor of different varieties.
At any rate, in answer to your question, it's the canning process in a boiling water bath for about 35 minutes that preserves the sauce. We have sauce that is at least two years old and still good...

Best of luck!

Thankyou both for your replies. I think I'll stick to freezing them.
