      Title: APPLES - SLICED
 Categories: Fruits, Canning
      Yield: 1 Guide
 
 
  Quantity: An average of 19 pounds is needed per canner load of 7
  quarts; an average of 12-1/4 pounds is needed per canner load of 9
  pints. A bushel weighs 48 pounds and yields 16 to 19 quarts-an
  average of 2-3/4 pounds per quart.
  
  Quality: Select apples that are juicy, crispy, and preferably both
  sweet and tart.
  
  Procedure: Wash, peel, and core apples. To prevent discoloration,
  slice apples into water containing ascorbic acid. Raw packs make poor
  quality products. Place drained slices in large saucepan and add 1
  pint water or very light, light, or medium syrup (see "Preparing and
  Using Syrups") per 5 pounds of sliced apples. Boil 5 minutes,
  stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Fill jars with hot slices
  and hot syrup or water, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids and
  process.
  
  Processing directions for canning sliced apples in a boiling-water, a
  dial, or a weighted-gauge canner are given in Table 1, Table 2, and
  Table 3.
