Instructions

  1. Fill the cold pack canner with water and place it on medium high heat.

  8. Use a ladle to fill the extra space in the jars with the hot syrup. Be sure the apples are covered.

  13. Bring the canner to a boil and process the pint jars for 15 minutes.

  18. If the lids are not sealed you can either go back to step 10 and start over or put the jars in the refrigerator and use them right away.
