The yeast has settled down after 7 days, the water has cleared up and taken on the color of their respective fruits.
I noticed that the apples exposed to air inside the container have oxidized, making them brown. I searched various stores for small ceramic dishes I could place inside the canning jars to weigh down the fruit. I was unsuccessful.
For my next batches, I will use a system that can weigh down the fruits while letting gasses escape. I may even consider using an air lock, and other wine fermenting implements.
Another problem I notice is fruit flies, even in winter. They really love the canning jars. I had to place the jars in a colder room, where the yeast may have become dormant.
