Sauce
- 2.5 cups brown sugar

- 1 tsp salt
- 10 cups water
Instructions

- Pack each jar with apple slices up to the hips of the jar.
- Put all sauce ingredients into a pot and bring to boil.
- Stir this constantly until it thickens up.
- Once it is thickened to your desire remove it from the heat.
- Fill each jar with sauce up to the hips of the jars.
- Once jars are filled put the lids and rings on.

Notes
It may be hard to get the sauce into the jars. Use a spoon or knife to help move around the slices so you can get it down into the bottom. You can also bang them on the counter a little bit to get it to move down.
Your water bath should be boiling before you put the jars in the water. The sauce is hot enough that it should not shock the jars and break them (hopefully).
