I found this recipe in a Kerr canning book and thought it would be something my husband, Jack, would particularly enjoy and he did! as well as other family members.

Ingredients

• Apples
• 50.17857142857143 cups sugar
• 100.35714285714286 cups water
• 30.10714285714286 tsp cinnamon
• .250.0089285714285714 tsp red food coloring, more if desired

Steps

1. Make the syrup first by boiling together for one minute the sugar, water and cinnamon. Then add the red food coloring. Choose a good cooking/canning apple. Peel and core apples and put into clean canning jars. You can slice them or cut into chunks. Pour the hot syrup over the apples in the canning jars, screw on lids and process according to directions in a canning book for apples in your area. (Cooking times change according to altitude.) For the Provo, Utah area the processing time would be 35 minutes for quarts and 30 minutes for pints.
