Apple Jelly and Applesauce

We bought 2 pecks of Ginger Gold Apples with the intent of only making Apple Jelly. So, we filled up our fruit steamer with washed whole apples and steamed the juice out of them. We looked at what was left of the apples and we decided .... why waste it. So, my wife put the apple remains into her Blend Tec 3 HP blender and pulverized the pulp, seeds and skin into applesauce. She added a little cinnamon just for flavor. You know, I have had lawnmowers with 3 hp motors. Here's the remaining recipe for her applesauce.

Put the applesauce into a pot and bring to a boil for 1 minute.
Pour the applesauce into hot pint jars, add the lids and tighten.
Place in the water bath and cover the jars with 2" of water.
Because we are at 3,000 ft elevation, we boil in the water bath for 20 minutes.
That's it.
