Preserved Apples (Whole)

The apple paring syrup can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before pouring over the freshly peeled apples. The completed preserves improve in flavor after 1-2 weeks as the spices meld with the fruit.

Store the preserved apples in sterilized, airtight glass jars in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months unopened. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2 weeks. The apples should remain submerged in syrup to prevent spoilage. If any mold appears, discard the entire jar.
