This simple applesauce could not be easier…. feel free to add or change the spices to make it a flavor you will love…
- you will need:
- apples… I used only a peck when I made this batch
- lemon juice
- and spices… I used cinnamon, all spice, and gram masala
First you must peal the apples… I solicised the help of my hubby as he
is the one who eats most of the applesauce…. Then chop them up into
little pieces… I added some lemon juice and water so they do not turn
brown… All of the water will boil off when you cook them so do not fear
about adding too much…
add them to a sauce pan and begin to heat until boil, stir as you go…
it will all cook down very nicely… I just sort of mush is while it is boiling
as I perfer it to be a little bit chunky… if you do not love the chunckyness
then at this point remove it from the heat and run it through a food
processer to get any lumps out… when most of the water is boiled off I
then add in the spices… you can taste test to see if you want more, just
do not burn your tongue… then remove your jars from their hot water
bath ….
keep the sacue at a low boil as you scoop it out and
place it into jars… then screw on the lids right away….
process it in a hot bath for 15 minutes if you have pint
jars, or 20 if you have quarts….
…and there we have it finished apple sauce to enjoy all winter long:)
