Apple Pie Filling
Prepare your apples, enough to fill 7 quarts. Fill your clean jars with apples. Pour over the apples this mixture, that you have boiled until clear:
8 cups water
6cups sugar
1 cup cornstarch
1TBL salt
1TBL cinnamon
Wipe jar tops, screw on seal and bands and process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes. A quart is enough for a 9 inch pie.
I love having this on the shelf in the winter! It makes dessert easy, fast and delicious!
Since I stayed home today, I was able to harvest from the garden and just in time…some of my green beans and cucumbers got a little big! :( I feel so wasteful when that happens! Here is what I found when I walked in the garden:
I found this pepper plant at Ingles, a local grocery store. I had to buy it because of it’s name, “Costa Rican” …I have a special spot for anything Costa Rican after having visited there with my daughter! Someday, I’ll go back! Anyway, it finally has a pepper on it!
I am actually going to have some eggplant this year!
The second planting of squash is bearing now too!
I actually have a few flowers that have survived the dry weather!
Today’s Harvest
I was able to put up 13 quarts of green beans from that basket! It was a very profitable day even if we didn’t get to pick apples!
I'm sharing Miss Kitty's Apple Pie recipe at the parties in my sidebar. Check out the food related linky parties! I’ve found some awesome recipes there!
I'm also sharing my garden at Tootsie's Fertilizer Friday/Flaunt your flowers! Check out some amaing photos of gorgeous gardens here!
Oh my! Your garden has produced a bountiful feast. Mine is so sad. Just so hot and cold in the evening. None of my garden plants are doing well. Sigh!!
ReplyDeleteThanks doer the recipe. Sounds delish!!

You are certainly reaping the fruits of your labor. Jean
ReplyDeleteI planted a Costa Rican sweet pepper this year for the first time too! We've got one pepper and lots of flowers - I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that we get more than one. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking harvest and thanks for the recipe- apples should be coming on here in the next few weeks. Thanks for sharing at the Tuesday Garden Party!

ReplyDeleteWhen you have time, let me know what you're thinking of as far as the couponing posts go. :)
I love canning apple pie filling too. It's so handy to have on hand whenever I need a quick pie to take to a carry in.
ReplyDeleteLovely bounty!!

Great vegetable harvest and that Apple Pie Filling looks spectacular.
ReplyDeleteYou have collected a beautiful harvest.
ReplyDeleteNice veggies and I love the Blue Daze in the container.
ReplyDeleteLovely vegetables. My senior mom's gardening efforts have been sweetly rewarded as well - in spite of, what we've been told, unseasonably hot weather. So next year should be even better. Very cool! :)
ReplyDeleteWow Apples already?! Fun stuff. I picked a mess of green beans here yesterday and made a nice asian flavored salad for a potluck today. Its so nice to have fresh produce!
