These clove and cinnamon-spiced canned apples make an excellent side to the quintessential holiday foods, breaking up richness with sweet and tangy complexity.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the holidays, spiced apple rings are lovely atop autumnal breakfasts and on loaded charcuterie boards. But in the opinions of many, spiced apple rings taste best straight out of the jar.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Spiced Apple Rings<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Granulated sugar sweetens the spiced apple rings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White vinegar:<\/strong> White vinegar is our acid of choice for the canning liquid. It\u2019s really important to get the measurements just right, so don\u2019t use more or less of the sugar, vinegar, water or salt!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cinnamon candies or cinnamon sticks:<\/strong> Choose one or the other for these spiced apple rings in a jar. Cinnamon candies will help dye the apple rings red and have a spicy cinnamon flavor. Cinnamon sticks won\u2019t dye the apples red and have more a of a sweet cinnamon flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cloves:<\/strong> Cloves are sweet and slightly bitter with a warming, spicy aroma.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red food coloring:<\/strong> Optionally, add a few drops of red food coloring to dye the apples.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apples:<\/strong> Peel, core and slice the apples into 1\/2-inch-thick rings. Don\u2019t go any thinner than that or the apples might turn into mush. If you don\u2019t have an apple corer, slice the apple into rings, then use a large round piping tip to press the centers out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mason jars:<\/strong> To can the apple rings, you\u2019ll need two wide-mouthed, quart-sized Mason jars with screw-top lids.
