My mother used to cut and peel the apples combine with lemon juice and
freeze them until she wanted to make a pie. The consistency was better
than canning them.

I will make a batch of apple butter, but I don't want to make
applesauce. Does anyone have a recipe for sliced apples I can put in
the canner? How about apples ready for pie? Anyone have a recipe or
suggestion? The apples are about 50/50 McIntosh and Golden Delicious.
Thanks

hi
if you have access to a food dehydrator then you can slice the apples thin and make apple chips they last a long time in a sealed container, We sprinkle lightly with Cinnamon be for we dehydrate ours.

Ohhhh, dried apple slices!!! One of my favorites!! When I went out to the
ARBA Convention in 1998 in Portland Oregon, I took several bags of my dried
apple slices along for snacks. They only lasted two days. My room-mates
discovered them. ARGHH!!! I tried buying some apple slices but they just
weren't as good. Home dried banana chips are out of this world too. I'm
going to try drying some pear slices this year. Never done it before but I
don't know why it wouldn't work. And dried fruit slices are a lot better t=
o
snack on than a lot of other things. =0D

You know?? I wonder if I can get potatoes sliced thin enough to dry them
and make like my own potato chips except they won't be fried and
oily?!?!?!?! Anyone ever try that?? Put a dab of sea salt on them then dr=

very thin slices. Maybe that dial-a-matic slicer I got when I got the
dehydrator will slice them thin enough. =0D

Oh, I almost forgot. I had the base from my Mr. Coffee dehydrator that
still works. Just no trays for it anymore. Well the trays from the Ronco
dehydrator FIT IT!! All I need now is a lid or something that will work as
a lid. Anyone got any suggestions what I could use to make a lid for it?
Then I could use the extra Ronco trays on it and have TWO dehydrators
going!!!=0D

Donna,
I grew up with both of my grandmother's making canned apples for fried
apples. They just canned the apples with I would guess a light or
medium syrup.
To cook them, they would put them in a frying pan, sprinkle the apples
with sugar and add water. Cooked on medium or low heat until the
apples are about 1/2 mushy and half chunky. We would plop them on our
plate, mix in a little butter, then spoon onto hot biscuits - yum yum
yum - the tastes of childhood that we all miss!
They neither one added cinnamon or any spices to the apples, but it
would probably be good that way too.

But the potatoes won't be cooked either, I have no idea how they would
taste. I've used dehydrated potatoes for soups, but they are cooked
along with the rest of the veggies. I would use one of your pot lids
for a cover for your dehydrator.

Yes, you can make potato chips in the dehydrator. My husband an=
d I are
just embarking on a "raw-food" experiment and needed something to get
us through the initial monotony of salad, salad and more salad. So, he
sliced them very thinly, sprinkled sea salt and some other herbs -
oregano, basil, garlic powder - on them and dehydrated overnight on a
low setting. Tried a few this morning - delicious!

Thanks! I had been meaning to see if there was a group on Yahoo, but
have had no time - this High Raw diet is suprisingly time and labor-
intensive. So, any new ideas would help!

might be interested in. We are not totally raw food and I doubt we
ever will be but I read both to get ideas. Because of gardening,
during the harvesting seasons a lot of what we eat is raw. Both have
some very interesting ideas. HTH
