Moldy applesauce - prevention requires peeling
If you followed all the proper procedures for canning
your homemade applesauce last year, then discovered
spotty mold growth when you opened the sauce, Trudy
says you can avoid the problem this year by peeling the
apples, as well as washing them Unsprayed apples,
organically grown apples, or windfall apples picked off
the ground may have been the culprit These apples have
a much higher population of mold, often invisible, that can
surface after processing and result in moldy applesauce
To avoid the problem this year, peel as well as wash the '
fruit then use the hot pack method and increase the time

The 1980's won't be an easy decade for your children (or grandchildren). It's going to
be much more difficult for them to buy their first car, pay their education
save a down-payment for a home, raise their own family. To give your children a head
start as well as reduce your taxes, inquire about the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act which
allows you to give as much as $3OOO per year to a child.

you heat process the applesauce by 5 minutes. This means
a total of 15 minutes in the boiling water canner for pints,
20 minutes for quarts, Trudy says
Combination foods - caution is the key
All modem canning references are explicit about the
method of canning to use for specific foods, but what
heatmg method do you use when canning a combination of
foods or an exotic food not listed m the references 7
Marceil says to can any combination of foods the safe
way, keep this rule in mind Process the food combination
for the time recommended for the ingredient requiring the
greatest amount of tune If one of the ingredients requires
pressure canner processing, then use that heat process
For example, if tomato sauce contains ground meat, while
the tomato sauce would normally be processed safely in a
boiling water bath canner, the ground meat must be
processed m a pressure canner Therefore, to safely
prodess the tomato sauce with ground meat, look up
recommended processmg times for ground meat and
follow the directions and times listed
Do not add oils or starches to foods you can as they

decrease the movement of heat through the contents of the
jar and result in underprocessing, Marceil says. And she
recommends that if any food or combination of food is not
listed in any reference to play it safe. Either check with
your local extension office, or preserve the food by
freezing it
Hold Hie sugar - fact sheet ovakble
Sugar is not really needed to insure quality canned
fruits, except when making jams, jellies and preserves,
Marceil says. Most home canners add sugar m the form of
syrup because it helps retain flavor, texture and color. If
you want to can fruits for people on restricted sugar diets,
it’s best to can these foods without any sugar. Use
ascorbic acid to help retain color and improve flavor, she
says
A fact sheet, Canning Fruit Without Sugar is available
from the extension service to help those who need to avoid
the sweet stuff.
