Instructions
- Fill jars with raw apples, adding layers of syrup as you fill, otherwise there will be too many air pockets. Leave 1 inch headspace. If jars are too full, syrup will spew out during processing! Tighten lids and process.
- The recipes says hot water bath the jars for 25 mins. We pressure canned at 5# pressure for 8 mins.
