I hand slice the rings to be a tiny bit more than 1 /4 inch thick, it holds up better for transferring to & from and serving. In lieu of cinnamon candies, I have always added cranberries. A cup at least to the large frying pan-- less crowding and bruising than a stockpot. (I tend to freeze more things than canning for the past few years, just a personal choice). Depending on how many people are coming for pork roast dinner, I like to make extra batches to give as "thank you for coming"- treats. The Apple peel-- incidentally, keeps the apples from disintegrating, too. These last a week in the fridge, if that long. Freezing turns them into mush, so these are not frozen. To be enjoyed soon. Thank you also, for a great recipe and story blog!

Some apple varieties can tolerate the high heat of processing better than others, but they also lose their color and become an unattractive waxy grey or clear. Luckily, this recipe adds color. Unluckily, nothing stops that peel from tasting or feeling waxy. Because it contains wax. This wax is why you can shine an apple fresh off the tree until it gleams with light buffing. While I like the look of apple rings with their peels intact, I feel this is best done with refrigerated spiced apple rings, which are only cooked for 3-5 minutes. The minimal processing time give the peels a better chance to be just as perky and lovely as desired, but does limit their life to 1 week in the fridge.<br />See, much of the natural yeast in apples is in the peels. It is this yeast that allows fermentation into apple cider vinegar or hard cider. But you don't want that yeast in a canned good. The yeast creates gas as it metabolizes sugar and changes the chemistry of your recipe. The reason we boil jars for specific times is to kill bacteria (of course) but also kill the natural yeast. <br />So I see it this way: refrigerator spiced apples keep their skin on but you only enjoy them for 1 week, and canned spiced apples are peeled, but you enjoy them year round.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01281547374160528423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-63081713491792596942020-09-05T07:55:29.807-05:002020-09-05T07:55:29.807-05:00My guess is they would strip off at least some dur...My guess is they would strip off at least some during processing...I've had potatoes do that...doesn't make for an attractive product.

When I found your recipe pinned for this, I knew I had to make these! They are amazing! We can't hardly find apple rings in the stores anymore, and when you can 1)they're horribly overpriced and 2) they just don't taste the same as when you make them yourself! These are my mom's favorite things and I am so glad I can make them for her now! Thank You!
