Rome Beauty, Northern Spy, Jonathan, Baldwin, Wine sap, Graven stein, Golden Delicious, and Red Delicious work well. Choose mature fruit that is evenly colored and not bruised. Wash and peel apples, you may leave peelings on if you like them with them on. Optionally drop fruit in an ascorbic acid bath to prevent browning. I use concentrated orange juice in water or sometimes white vinegar. I don't usually use ascorbic acid. This is something purely personal, after all these are your dried apples. For indoors start dryer at 130 degrees, increase to 165 degrees after about 1 hour. I turn my apples often. If you are using a cooking sheet in the oven be sure to spray with Pam or use oil on soft cloth so apples won't stick. You don't want excess oil on pan, just enough to make the apples not stick. When most of the moisture has left the fruit, lower the temperature to 145 degrees and regulate it between that temperature and 130 degrees as needed to prevent scorching. Stir and turn fruit on trays frequently as it finishes drying. Apples should dry in 6 hours or less under controlled heat. For Outdoors dry in the sun for 1 to 3 days. Some say sulfuring is required but I personally never use it, I like mine natural and I have had mine last for years. Place the fruit one layer deep on trays and cover with cheesecloth or other light fabric during drying. If you use screen be sure and don't use galvanized, use fiberglass screen you get at the hardware store, its cheap and you can make drying trays quite easily. My father made me years ago an enclosed dryer for outside, I love it. |

We are not responsible for any recipe or food problems you may incur while canning, you may try it if you like but we are not responsible for any damage or problems you encounter while canning. Always check your canning books recipe before canning as it may change for your area depending upon the altitude. It is important to preserve your food safely. It is always a good idea to check with your local extension office. I have found some wonderful booklets on all sorts of things, drying and canning at a very low price there. The ball canning book is one used often.

Canning Peaches
2 to 3 pounds peaches per quart To prepare peaches: Wash peaches; dip in boiling water 30 to 60 seconds; immediately dip peaches in cold water. Slip off peel. Cut in half; pit. Cling peaches are easier to cut into halves if a pitting spoon is used to loosen the pulp from the pit. Push the spoon through pulp from the stem end to the end of the pit, cutting pulp from the pit. If a pitting spoon is not available, use a knife to cut through to the pit; begin at stem end and follow crease to blossom end; continue cutting on opposite side. After cutting, hold a peach in half in each hand and twist in opposite directions to separate half's. I prefer raw pack. Process pints 25 minutes, quarts 30 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Check with your local state extension service or a canning book to make sure it is right for your area. |

Hot Pack: Peel peaches; cut in half and pit. Treat to prevent
darkening. Make a medium or heavy syrup. Drain peach's. Cook peaches on
layer at a time in syrup until are hot throughout Pack hot peaches into
hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Ladle hot syrup over peaches, leaving
1/2-inch head space. Remove air bubbles. Adjust two-piece caps. Note: If peaches are juicy, measure peaches after pitting and peeling. Add 1 to 2 cups to each 5 quarts peaches. Cook peaches slowly until sugar dissolves and peaches are hot throughout. Pack and process as for canning peaches, hot pack. If there is not enough syrup add boiling water to cover peaches leaving 1/2 inch head space. Always check your canning books recipe before canning as it may change for your area depending upon the altitude.
