I am making unsweetened apple sauce with Macs (kind of tart.) Can I can with boiling water or do I need to pressure cook it? The recipe says process with boiling water but a friend said something that made me worry. Thanks!!
 
I don't pressure mine however I do a water bath instead. Completly cover the jars with water and heat to boiling then boil for 15 minutes to preserve them. Good Luck
 
Water bath is fine for applesauce. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1/2 teaspoon citric acid to each jar to ensure high enough acidity.

I like this website a lof for their canning guidance. It's what I used to learn to can last year. http://www.pickyourown.org/applesauce.htm

I used a stick blender like this for my applesauce:

Great, thanks!! I really want a pressure canner but haven't gotten one yet...and I have ten pounds of apples I picked this morning cooking on the stove! :)
 
If you're going to go to the trouble of canning apples, why not make apple pie filling alongside the sauce? As soon as my apple tree ripens I'm going to make a few quarts. Keep some phyllo dough in the freezer and you can make fresh turn-overs all winter!
