Using canned cabbage
I have read how you can cabbage. What did you use it for after? We like fried cabbage and cabbage and potatoes done in the crock pot.

Sure you can home can cabbage. Some “experts” tell you that it’s too “strong” to can. Phooey! I can it every year. When I go to use it, I simply drain off the liquid and gently rinse the cabbage in cold water. Drain and use. If you want to fry potatoes and cabbage in your crockpot, do the potatoes first (unless they are canned), then add the cabbage as it’s already cooked. I often just fry it, then add a bit of milk. Or I use it in boiled dinners (toward the end). We love our canned cabbage. — Jackie
Canning apple juice
I’ve made some sort of juice by boiling apples in water and canning the resulting juice. It’s the best I can do without a regular juicer. What do you think of that? Also I didn’t know about making apple sauce with the pulp.

Before I had a steam juicer, I used to cut up my unpeeled apples, remove the stem, then add a little water and cook them gently, covered, until the apples were soft. Then I strained off the juice with a jelly bag. Once done, you can then either put your apples through a Victorio tomato strainer or use a sieve or Foley mill to separate the pulp from the skins, seeds, etc. — Jackie
ANITA, that sounds SO GOOD! We fry cabbage with sliced smoked sausage and onions, then serve it with cornmeal muffins. I will have to add a splash of sour cream at the end next time! I bet it gives it just enough tang to set off the sweetness of the cabbage and the onions. Every one of my grandkids love fried cabbage.
I fix my canned cabbage creamed style. I sauté it with a little onions, bacon and a little salt and pepper, then add some sour cream, yummy!
