APPLE PRESERVATION
Prevent Discoloration
The addition of Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) to light colored fruits at the time of canning will help prevent discoloration. Tablet or crystalline form may be used. Put 5 tablets of 50 milligrams in bottom of each quart jar before packing fruit; or add 1/2 teaspoon of crystalline Ascorbic acid to each quart of the syrup before pouring over fruit in jars, or use commercial Ascorbic and Citric acid mixture following manufacturer's directions.
Canning
Select uniform apples. Wash, pare and core. Cut into desired size. If peeled fruit is to stand several minutes before precooking, drop it into solution to prevent discoloration. Drain. Boil 3 to 5 minutes in a thin syrup (see below). Pack into jars to within 1/2 inch of top. Fill to within 1/2 inch of top of jar with boiling syrup. Put on cap, screw band firmly tight. Process in boiling water bath as follows: 20 minutes - pint jars 25 minutes - quart jars
Freezing
Peel, core, and slice apples. Put in solution to prevent darkening. Drain and blanch 2 minutes in boiling water or slice directly into chilled syrup (see below).
