APPLE PIE IN A JAR
28 cups peeled apples, sliced 1 tsp nutmeg
4 1/2 cups sugar 1 tsp salt
1 cup cornstarch 10 cups water
2 tsp cinnamon 3 tbs lemon juice
Pack apples tightly in quart jars. Make syrup from sugar, spices, salt and water. Cook and stir until bubbly. Add lemon juice. Pour over apples in jars. Seal and process in water bath for 20 min.
This was in one of my church cookbooks and the mother of one of the ladies in the church made these every year for years so she would have apples for pies. Could be a good gift too.

This looks good – I like nutmeg in mine too. The current guidelines call for using Clearjel in place of the cornstarch (use half as much Clearjel) and processing 25 minutes (adjust for altitude). Here's the NCHFP approved recipe that could easily be applied to these ingredients

Hey Phil! I think we've all done that! Cornstarch was what we all used for years and years, and yes, we canned it too… when I've run into things like this, I've just used them up first, and made sure to correct whatever it was I'd been doing in the next canning adventure. Only in a few instances have I actually thrown anything out… with pie filling, I think if I had any of an old batch, say from last year, I might consider throwing that out and then just use up the new stuff fast. You might also consider emptying it into freezer bags and freezing it if you have room, but not jars from past seasons IMO.
We've all heard a lot of people talk about how they did this or that for years, and I sympathize with that, I have more than a few of those stories too! Thing is, what I've taken to telling my friends who resist newer canning information is, "Now that we know better, we can do better."
Anyway, like I said, this is all just my opinion, so I'd use up what is there from this season, and use clear jel from now on!

Phil. Well, if you are asking for a recommendation, it would have to be to dispose of it. Simply too many variables for a bunch of strangers to recommend anything else!
On the other hand, if it were mine, and I knew that I had impeccably followed all the rules of cleanliness, good judgement and all that, then I would most likely consume the product. Actually, would use it as an excuse to overindulge in a good thing! Probably not feed it to too many of my loved ones. And not brag too much about breaking "the rules."
Have we appropriately hedged on this one?

Thanks for your replies.
Buckeyegirl, It seems that Clear jel isn't available here in Minnesota.
Believe me we searched everywhere we went with the good faith that we have lived into out 50's eating Mom's canned pie filling…with cornstarch. Our search for clear jel was just the same as many things here…unheard of or unavailable. Internet search revealed that clear jel was available under many names, same basic product. But not available within the time period we needed it, and that was the time before the apples went by the way..
But, the pie filling is great, we won't store it long…
Pete, thanks for your reply, I/we always use the uptmost care when canning, have been doing it all my life, But, that don't mean that I rely on y memory, I and EVERYONE who cans, should keep reference material at hand…or we could rely on our memory…don't know about you but My memory
