APPLE PICKLES
Hi and welcome to our website!
Thank you for stopping by, I'm excited to share with you today another tasty recipe from a lovely family from Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador. They have shared with us two recipes before for, Grandma's Rhubarb Custard Pie, and Grandma's Rhubarb Jam, so we are excited to share another family recipe of their's this one by their Aunt Roseanne. Enjoy
Peel and cube apples of choice and small yellow or white onions.
Pickling spice make this recipe taste so seasonal and festive, the amount would depend on you if you enjoy the spice taste of these spices. I'm using about one tablespoon or a little less and these apple pickles taste amazing.
I'm sure you can use a vinegar you enjoy the most, like apple cider vinegar. But this recipe only calls for white vinegar and thats what I used and its amazing. 🙂
After all ingredients are placed in boiler, cover; then let cook until onions and apples soften and is at the texture you would like. This can take anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes, depending on you.

Mix together:
12 apples which have been peeled and diced
1 bag of cut frozen onions or 12 onions peeled and diced
2 cups of white vinegar
1 28 oz. can of tomatoes
2 teaspoons of pickling spice (most people add the pickling spice directly to the mixture)

As with all traditional recipes, amounts can be changed and adjusted according to taste, in my experience everybody's apple pickles taste slightly different.
VIEWERS MESSAGE: Christmas tradition on the Lower North Shore of Quebec where I taught for 35 years. This area of Quebec is across the Strait of Belle Isle close to the Labrador border and was originally settled by people from the West Coast of Newfoundland. The smell of these pickles cooking is always a traditional sign of Christmas, although they are great any time of year;
If you are looking for a lovely recipe that can be made for Christmas or seasonal to have all year round, this is it. These APPLE PICKLES are so tasty, and our viewer said “the smell of these pickles cooking was a traditional sign its Christmas”.
Nothing like a homemade food gift for any occasion, if you are like me its the way to go. If you don’t have fancy jars, no worries. Just use a napkin or piece of linen and wrap the top of the lids and tie and colourful ribbon around the top to make a festive gift for anyone.
