Canning Attempt #1

I've been interested in canning for some time now, but was a bit worried about attempting it on my own. I decided to start with something relatively simple: Apple Butter.



I did a bit of research first. The Ball Preserves website is a good resource, as well as this article from Sandy Moyer.

It was messier than I expected, but the canning process wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I would recommend using an actual sieve or food mill. I used a big spoon with a strainer and it made the process more difficult than it needed to be. The recipe I followed came from Simply Recipes. The only thing I would have done differently was use slightly less cinnamon, but otherwise my Apple Butter came out well.
