WARNING YOU MUST DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH FOLLOW PROPER CLEANING AND CANNING RECIPES FROM ACCREDITED PUBLICATIONS BACTERIA IN FOOD PREPARATION CAN KILL YOU! Hello everyone made 2 batches of cinnamon apple Jelly using THE NATURAL PECTIN IN THE APPLES! Managed to get 24 bottles. It was a lot of work. I washed and cut up over 20 pounds of MacIntosh apples. Removed the stems, blossom ends and any blemishes or apple scab. The apples were cut in quarters or more with larger apples. You must leave all the skin, seeds and cores to be boiled. Add enough water to about 3/4 of the height of the apples, meaning don’t cover the apples with water. Once the apples start boiling turn them down to a medium boil. This is where I add the cinnamon, you can use a cinnamon stick, I use a heaping tablespoon per 10 pound pot. Apples are VERY HIGH in natural pectin, too high of a temperature will destroy the pectin at this stage. The pectin is mostly in the skin area. The apples will turn into apple sauce you should also mash the apples if required. Apple juice is what the jelly is made of. Once the apples are fully dissolved make a 4 layer cheese cloth bag to drain/strain the apples into a clean container or pot. You can let the bag drain overnight but I find any juice gained more than 4 hours is minimal. DO NOT SQUEEZE THE the cheese cloth trying to squeak out more juice. This will cause fines in the jelly making it cloudy. Once you have collected all the juice it is time to get serious. All your mason jars and lids should be washed with hot soapy water and rinsed and put in the oven at over 220 degrees F. The lids must be prepared as per the lid manufacturer. You will need to WATER BATH THE MASON JARS after the jars are filled. AGAIN DO YOUR RESEARCH, USE AN ACCREDITED SOURCE like a canning company or extension office. Prep you water bath canner with the appropriate amount of water and raise the temperature to at least 190 Degrees F. Accurately measure your juice by the cup. For every cup of juice you will use 1 cup of granulated sugar. If you have 10 cups of juice use 10 cups of sugar, 15 cups of juice use 15 cups of sugar and soon. You will also add 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice per 3 cups of juice. This will raise the acid content of the juice. Bring the juice and lemon juice to a slight boil then stir in the sugar, keep stirring until all the sugar is dissolved. Adjust heat to suite. You want the combined juice, sugar and lemon juice to be in a rolling boil. Watch very closely the your jelly will likely start to FOAM up add a tablespoon of real butter this will stop the foaming. I now just put the butter in before it foams. Putting the butter in early just saves the pot from foam over the top making a mess. You want the contents to be a constant rolling boil. The MOST important is the temperature of the jelly. You will not achieve jelly until the mixture achieves a temperature of 220 degrees F this is the point we’re juice becomes jelly. This is why there is no set times for making/boiling jelly WITH NATURAL PECTIN it’s all about the relationship between juice, sugar, natural pectin and water. Once you have sneaker boiled off the other ingredients come together to make jelly. I use 2 thermometers to check my temperature. You will also see the jelly forming on the spoon you are stirring the pot with as the temperature nears 220. You can also increase the temperature by a few degrees as this will make the jelly a little stiffer and that won’t hurt. If you do not have a proper thermometer you can also use the cold plate method, sheet method. This method is all over the net and can be found on YouTube. Now that we have our jelly at the correct temperature and your bottles have been sterilized sitting in the oven at 220 the lids and rings are prepared as per the manufacturer. It is time to get bottling. The importance of having the sterilized bottles hot is not only to kill organisms but you can’t pour 220 degree jelly in a cold jar it might break. Keeping the water in the water bath hot is the same idea plus it allows the water bath to boil quicker. Fill each jar with jelly leaving a 1/4 to 1/2 inch headspace, wipe the rim of the bottle to remove any spillage that may prevent a proper seal. Cover with the lid and ring FINGER TIP TIGHT don’t over tighten the lids if you over tighten the bottle might not draw a vacuum. Immediately transfer the filled bottle to the water bath. Fill all the jars and place in the water bath there must be at least a full inch of water over all the bottles. You must water bath at a full boil for a minimum of 5 minutes. Remove the bottles set on a dishcloth away from drafts for 12-24 hours to let cool. If you’ve done it correctly the bottles should seal within minutes of removing them from the water bath. AGAIN YOU MUST PRACTICE GOOD HYGIENE AND PROPER CANNING AS PER ACCREDITED SOURCES. Good luck, I/we find it very rewarding to create our own preserves. I hope you do too. Wayne6 points

@Icequeen this thread is rather tame. I've seen some go right crazy I mean eastern Texas crazy ? . But I will stop posting take a break. I think the fact of the matter here is were close to those who want the Vax have it and those who do no want it will fight to the end to not get it. Nature Will deal with it now. Or segregation will take over.3 points

I mean no offense to anyone here. I just wanted to provide some facts I had seen, and continue to see, since it seems like this jab is taken so lightly. I am passionate about my opinion, and apparently so are you all. That's fine. And it's not so few that feel this way either. Just please don't ask me to "vax", because I won't. You've heard my opinion, so I am done in this thread/topic. Good debates!2 points

Nice! I like the long intro with multiple shots setup showing them getting there on the bike. And that radio! Sweet! The way the kids faces light up when the tunes start...haha! Yeah man! A couple baitfish, some turmeric, some bread, all cooked by a small fire...love it. Thanks for sharing. Perspective and whatnot.1 point -
No complaints. Nor saying anything about it being overpriced or anything like that. If anything, just said it was comparable to other sellers. Just telling it like it is when it comes to buying any piece of computer equipment anywhere or from anyone. As a general matter including from myself. Calm yourself and dont take it so personally. ? Its my two cents to spend. I dont need permission to spend it.1 point

And away I go. Fly out to MCO early tomorrow morning for WDW for a week. Check out all the 50th anniversary and Halloween stuff. Galaxy's Edge. Assuming I can get a time slot for it before its all booked. Gotta try each morning at exactly 7am... like all the other riff-raff doing it. If I can arrange it, maybe check out the Celebration area to see what its like. First time on a plane in 15 years. Actually, first significant vacation in 3 years. Would have gone on one a year ago but Covid and the various shutdowns nixed that idea. I hate the packing though. I am always worried that I will forget something important. And in the back of my mind also hoping that TSA wont find some kind of issue to cause a problem or... worst case scenario... deny me entry. ?1 point

Because someone whines doesnt mean they arent right. ? In any case, so long as the dealer is reputable... and will stand behind any problems that arise... then pay what you want. That said, I assume its not newegg itself but a third party. 30x series are available at the price you sold it.... more or less... for the moment. ? Only caution I would add I suppose is whether or not warranties apply if purchased from a third party that isnt a valid reseller. Usually the fine print says no. Had to RMA a new one, past the usual 30 days, with an original bill of sale so personally I am careful about warranties.1 point

Okay i wasn't going to post further but some of y'all made a good point. From my personal experience and seeing it with my own eyes. Yes the numbers are definitely screwed up and lied about. I had 3 residents whom were all in the covid unit. One fell and broke his hip. That's how he died. They classified it as a covid death. That was untrue. Another broke her back. They called it a covid death. Not true. And another fractured her pelvis. So the fact that they tested positive for covid that was how they labeled their death certificates. It was completely not true. So I have for a fact seen this done. That's all I got to say about that. ?1 point

I’m quoting data from factual healthcare records, either way you count them the stats support my point. I have given data from Provincial & National health records from 2 countries, I can easily do more but it would be silly. Laz, my friend.. I am in support of you doing as you wish for I believe in your own personal freedoms. What frustrates me is the push by anti-Vaxers to discourage others from getting the vaccinated. If we are to respect your personal choice then shouldn’t you respect others as well?1 point -

I am fully vaccinated and have been since the beginning of the year. I don't really care about any of the numbers. I am Canadian and I see it as my civic duty to take a small shot in the arm to keep my family as well as my society healthy. We live in a world with other people in close proximity. If I were to die early, because of getting this little shot, then I would rather be dead with the millions of smart people who have taken the shot then be alive with the few conspiracy theorists who will be left to run the world in to the ground. Just my opinion...I do hope you all stay healthy and none of us get this damn thing. And sympathies to the families and friends of the ones we have lost!1 point -

NO, let's allow the therapeutics that DO fucking work, unlike what our and your lying media are saying and fully open the fucking world (Like India is doing). Did any of you watch anything I posted or you just wrote them off as BS? OMG! There is something else in play here, so quit being mindless sheep just to get on a fucking plane or go to a bar! Oh wait, vaxxed pilots are dying in-flight and the rest are walking. Hmmm? Fortunately, Southwest wised up and said screw the mandate from useless, asshole Obiden. Our country is in the toilette from this corrupt, braindead "president". Why are hundreds of medical professionals walking away from careers they've invested years and money in?! Better wake the fuck up before it's too late! Or don't. Go get your third, then fourth jab, whatever! Done! This is one of the best vidoes of the truth, from one of the best. Not a basement dweller! If you didn't watch any others, at least watch this one: https://rumble.com/vnhjq1-winning-the-war-against-therapeutic-nihilism-dr.-peter-mccullough.html And BTW Icequeen, thank you. And how many of those deaths were reported to VAERS?! Or were they just considered "old"?! This is the lie! You'll die of heart issues, cancer, etc, but they won't say it's the vax! Pete, I did understand your numbers. But you can't use that number of shots as ratio to deaths. Pain, they'll need to hold me down to jab me! Never! For the "betterment of humanity"? Your sure of this?! I don't want my DNA to be modified, forever, not to mention the poisons and spike proteins in it! No Way! You who did, God be with you!1 point -

My fuure wife is of turkish origin. Before Corona, we went to Turkey to visit her family. They showed me where she grew up, and HOW she grew up. A small village in the mountains, at the meanwhile 95% empty since most of the people moved to cities. The house she grew up is made of clay, without water connection and her father (second husband of her mother) installed 1 phase a few years ago. A fireplace gives warmth wich goes out sometimes during the night. In front of the house is the main fireplace. There is the biggest part o all cooking aktivities. And peolpe believe me, it is unimportant what they cook or grill. It all tastes incredible. When we went there, I had a longer walk around the village. I didn't her anything. No cars, no planes, no nating. I think I heard an ant farting. It was such a silence. The way arabic people /turkey people cook is very simple but tasty and, belive it or not, very healthy. Things / methods which are use in middle ages become poular again in our civil life. People seaching for them, but don't see, that some cultures still know and practice them. They practice a different way to celebrate their meals. Sit on the bottom is as normal as eating with fingers. There's nothing to make fun of it, since it's their way to live. And I like it. My future wife's moter has given us a plot of land so when we retire wi will move to Turkey. The climate is better than here in germany. We want to build a house on that plot and I will probably continue to maintain the house which my wifes parants have build in the mountains. Below you can see the village and the surroundings mountainvillage.mp41 point -
