Making Homemade Applesauce Storing Question

[Guest guest]

I just made some homemade applesauce and I made quite a bit of it. I

don't want to go through the whole hassle of canning it since I would

need to do the boiling water thing which I don't understand.

I was wondering how long I can just put the homemade applesauce in a

plastic container in the refrigerator? How long will it keep in the

refrigerator for? (1 week or 2 weeks) before it goes bad. Also, the

applesauce wasn't completly cooled down (it was still pretty warm)

when I put it in the plastic container and put it in the refrigerator.

Is this OK or did I do something wrong? I'm just worried since I

have colitis and the last thing I need is to be eating something

spoiled or improperly preserved. I'm new to the applesauce thing and

I think it's soooo much better than the canned stuff in the stores.

Hoepfully someone hear has experience with this and could give me some

freindly advice on what to do.

Thanks.

I store mine in ball jar that are called can/freeze jars. You can find

them in the same place as the regular canning jars. They are great and

you just freeze in them like normal.

You could extend the life of the applesauce by fermenting it. There is

an apple/pear butter recipe in NT. I have used it for apple sauce too.

Mine lasts for at least a week unfermented and much longer fermented.
