No added sugar!
About this recipe
By Claudia Elliott
Coral Hawkins was the home ec instructor at Tehachapi High School for a number of years, although I didn’t have her as a teacher because I didn’t take the class until my senior year, right after her retirement.
I keep forgetting to buy apple juice concentrate at the store, but as soon as I remember I will try this recipe and share photos!
In the meantime, the recipe is here if you’d like to try it.
I’ll post photos to go with this recipe as soon as I’ve had a chance to make it!
