SARAH'S APPLESAUCE

HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the apples into quarters, peel them and core them. As you peel them, put the apple pieces in a bowl of cold water to keep them from turning brown. When they are all peeled and cored, cut them into slices (or cubes) and put them in a saucepan with the water and salt. Cover and simmer gently until the apples are almost soft. Remove the lid and add sugar to taste. Apples vary so much in tartness that it is difficult to tell you just how much to use. You must add a little at a time, tasting to find out how sweet the sauce is. After it is sweetened enough, continue simmering for a few minutes to melt the sugar thoroughly and cook down the sauce. James Beard's Notes: If the apples are not tart enough (or you added too much sugar), add just a dash of lemon juice as they cook. Feel free to add your favorite spice to taste. Good choices are cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, or mace. Cardamom and coriander are other flavors that some chefs are using. Smash the apples as they cook for a rustic look, or if you prefer a smoother sauce, you can strain it through a fine sieve or food mill after it has cooked. Don't forget that applesauce makes a wonderful gift!

THE BEST HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Wash apples. Do NOT peel.
• 2. Pour a small amount of water or apple juice into a large, thick-bottomed, nonreactive pot or Dutch oven. You want just enough water or juice to barely cover the bottom of the pot. Cover pot and turn heat to low.
• 3. Cut the apple off the core and add to pot.
• You can use a sharp knife and a cutting board for this or you can use an apple slicer.
• (Replace lid on pot after each addition.)
• 4. After all your apples are in the pot, turn the heat to medium-high and cook apples (covered) until soft - about 10 to 20 minutes depending on how many apples you have in the pot and what type of apples you use.
• Stir often to prevent apples from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• 5. Once apples are soft, transfer to blender (3 to 4 cups at a time) and blend on high speed until very, very smooth.
