Funny, I made applesauce almost this exact way just the other day. It was SO easy (we had the corer/peeler machine) and my kids thought it was really fun to help out!

I have a question. Someone told me that I could just can concord grapes in water and after several months pour off the juice and drink in. Okay, I canned the grapes. They are full of juice. Why do I need to wait several months and will the whole grapes in the jar make the juice bitter.. I have the grapes so not much cost involved in trying this just time. Have you ever heard of this method of making juice?

Sue, It would be risky not to do the boiling water bath, as bacteria remaining in the jar would have a chance to survive. Botulism is one serious illness that happens when food is improperly process. Granted, it is less likely in high acid foods like applesauce, but still I think it would be unwise to skip the boiling water bath.

My Mom cans tomatoes and applesauce similar to your method but doesn’t put them in a water bath after the applesauce or tomatoes are in the cans and sealed. They always seem to be alright. What could happen if you don’t process them in a boiling hot water bath?
