Ingredients

• apples in increments of 5 cups
• ¾ cup sugar for every 5 cups of apples (I used evaporated cane juice, which you can buy here)

Directions

• Wash, peel, core and slice the apples. (I sliced them into ⅛ths.)
• Layer the sliced apples in a food grade, 5-gallon bucket. Scatter about 5 cups of apples in the bucket and then sprinkle them with ¾ cup of sugar.
• Continue layering until youve run out of apples or have filled your bucket.
• Cover the apples with a plate and then a weight to help press out their juices.
• Cover the bucket with a lid & allow them to sit for 12-24 hours.
• Firmly pack the apple slices into hot, clean, sterilized quarts.
• Transfer the juices to a stockpot and bring them to a boil.
• Ladle the hot juice over the apples leaving ½ headspace, but covering the apples. (If you have too many slices in the jars, remove them.)
• Run a canning knife (like you find in this kit) down the sides of the jar to remove air bubbles, wipe rim of the jar with a wet rag, and top them with a warm ring and lid.
• Process the quarts in a waterbath canner (like this one)for 20 minutes.
