A cute little recipe booklet from Ohio Apples titled: “New Ways To Serve”. Inside info states: Issued by THE OHIO APPLE INSTITUTE, INC. McArthur, Ohio. No date but there is a “12-53” with the issue info that could be the month/year.

There are a lot of recipes in this little booklet and I’d like to transfer them all online. This post will be long ;).

CANNING RECIPES YOU’LL ENJOY

APPLE JELLY

Use tart apples slightly underripe. Wash, cut into pieces. Use enough water to nearly cover. Cook 20 to 30 minutes. Mash. Let juice drip through jelly bag. The juice may be canned, or made into jelly immediately with equally good results. Work with small amounts of juice–about 6 to 8 cups at a time. Measure juice and sugar accurately, using 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of juice. Heat quickly and boil rapidly until syrup reaches the jelly test. For this test dip a large spoon into the boiling syrup, and lift up the spoon so the syrup runs off the side. When several distinct drops cling together and “sheet off” the edge of the spoon the jelly is done.

Skim jelly and pour into glasses. Cover immediately with a thin layer of paraffin. Next day add second coat of paraffin. Crab apples may be used following the same procedure.

CANNING APPLES

Select uniform apples, wash, pare and core. Cut into desired size. If peeled fruit is to stand several minutes before packing, drop into slightly salted water to prevent discoloration. Drain. Drop in boiling syrup–thin–and cook until tender or transparent. Pack boiling hot into sterilized jars and seal.

APPLE BUTTER

10 pounds apples
8 quarts sweet cider
3 pounds sugar
2 tablespoons ground allspice
2 tablespoons ground cloves
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Wash, pare and core apples. Boil cider down to half the original amount. Add apples and cook until broken up. Add sugar and spices and cook to the consistency of fruit butter, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Put into sterilized jars and seal.

CANNING APPLE SAUCE

Wash, pare, quarter and core apples. Cook in enough water to prevent burning. When soft, stir until smooth and press through a sieve. Add sugar to taste. Again heat sauce to boiling point and transfer immediately to hot jars or cans and seal.

Food needs to meet two requirements. It must be “good to eat” and “good for you”.

Apples meet both requirements perfectly. Apples are “good to eat” in hundreds of ways. A fresh, ripe, raw apple is delicious to the taste and at the same time cleanses the teeth and massages the gums. It is the base for fruit salads. Cooked they are supreme for pie, cobbler, baked apple, sauce, fried apple, butter, jelly, etc., etc.

1/4 cup corn syrup
