Ingredients:
twenty Stayman-Winesap apples (or other firm, sweetness apples)
10 cups water
four cups sugar
half dozen cinnamon sticks
half dozen vanilla beans
12 whole star anise
12 dark peppercorns
ii tablespoons whole cloves

Directions:
Prep half dozen quart jars. Evenly split upward the spices betwixt the jars. Peel, core in addition to slice the apples. Float them inward H2O mixed amongst Fruit Fresh or lemon juice, to help retain their color. Meanwhile, convey the sugar, in addition to H2O to a rolling boil. Add the apple tree slices. Boil for v minutes. Do non allow it reduce. Pour the hot syrup in addition to apples into the jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Run a knife or a offend scraper to dislodge whatever bubbles spell turning the offend slightly. Seal. Process inward a hot H2O bathroom for twenty minutes.




Tip: I highly recommend the Blue Book Guide to Preserving for learning how to can. Here are around of my favorite canning related items.

Notes: I works life around neat long cinnamon sticks at Costco. They were the perfect size for the quart jars in addition to quite inexpensive. This is a neat recipe to role upward vanilla beans that are slightly dried up. I purchase them inward volume online in addition to occasionally they last a chip tough earlier I am able to role them all.

My thoughts:
You all know virtually my Stayman-Winesap honey if yous accept been readers during pretty much whatever fall. They are only a great, crisp not-too-sweet apple. We bought a whole bushel of them in addition to spell I was making neat headway for a spell there, nosotros started to wearisome downward in addition to all the same had around apples left. I figured, why non tin grade the sack them? Even if they didn't run out, at to the lowest degree I tried in addition to didn't only toss them inward our compost bin. As it turned out, canning these apple tree was a success. They were infused amongst spice in addition to allowed me to role them inward whatever recipe that called for applesauce (by pureeing them) in addition to were wonderful over yogurt in addition to served on H2O ice cream. You could fifty-fifty role the leftover syrup to sweeten a drink. Talk virtually a win-win-win.
