Pattis Raspberry Applesauce Recipes

RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Add apples and apple juice to a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot and bring to a boil. Cover, turn down the heat to a simmer, and cook until the apples are falling apart tender, about 30-40 minutes.
• Stir in raspberries, remove from stove and cool for about a half hour or so.
• If you have peeled and cored the apples, pour the apple raspberry mixture into a blender and process until smooth (you may have to do this in batches). If you have a food mill (see note below) you can scoop the apple raspberry mixture from the pot to the food mill and turn the handle - the mill will catch all the peel and seeds for you.
• This makes a nice tart applesauce. If you like yours sweeter, add some sugar or honey.
• This applesauce is scrumptious at any temperature - cool, room temperature or warm. I highly recommend trying some while it is warm! I like to garnish with a little mint when serving.

RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Mix raspberries, applesauce, oat bran, and white sugar together in a bowl.
• Combine oats, brown sugar, and butter together in a bowl using a pastry blender; add flour. Continue cutting into mixture using pastry blender until crumbly. Spread half the crumb topping into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
• Spread the raspberry filling onto the cooled crust and sprinkle with remaining crumb topping.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned, about 20 more minutes.

RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine apples with 1 cinnamon stick, jam, and water; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender (about 30 to 35 minutes). Add more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
• Remove from heat; remove cinnamon stick.
• Stir in 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice.
• The sauce will be somewhat chunky. If you prefer it smoother, puree it in a blender or food processor.

RASPBERRY ROASTED APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the zest and juice of the oranges and lemon in a large (11-inch) ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Peel, quarter, and core the apples and add them to the pot, tossing them with the juices as you go.
• Add the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and raspberries, cover, and bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the apples are very soft. Stir vigorously with a wire whisk. The applesauce will be smooth but still have a lot of texture. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream and a dusting of orange zest.

THREE SISTERS BEAN PATTIES WITH RASPBERRY AIOLI

Steps:

• Start the patties: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Halve the butternut squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the cut squash with oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and place flat side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast until the skin is sunken and a fork passes through easily, 30 to 40 minutes.
• While the squash cools, add the cornmeal, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper to a large bowl; whisk to combine. Scrape and remove ¾ cup squash from its skin with a fork and add to bowl (the remaining squash will keep, refrigerated, for 3 to 4 days). Add the beans, onion, sunflower butter, garlic and dried sage. Stir to combine, then transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until uniform. (Though a food processor yields better results, you could also simply mash the ingredients with a masher or your hands until well incorporated.) The mixture should be thick and pliable; if not, add more cornmeal, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix thoroughly. Cover the mixture and let rest in the fridge for 10 minutes until slightly firmer.
• While the mixture chills, make the aioli: In a small bowl, combine the chopped raspberries, mayonnaise, maple syrup and sage until well mixed. (Makes 1⅓ cups.) Cover and refrigerate while you cook the patties.
• Finish the patties: Remove the cornmeal mixture from the fridge. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using 1 heaping tablespoon (with almost 2 tablespoons of the cornmeal mixture) at a time, begin to shape small 1½- to 2-inch balls, adding them to the prepared baking sheet and pushing each to flatten slightly. Continue until all the dough is used; you should have about 24 patties. Bake on the prepared baking sheet for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving with aioli.

RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE JELLO

Steps:

• Stir together topping ingredients; cover and refrigerate overnight (or long enough to soften and slightly melt the marshmallows, if you prepare this in the morning, it should be ready later in the evening) When the marshmallows are softened, beat the mixture with electric mixer until smooth, to create a topping for the jell-o.
• Dissolve the jell-o and the sugar in boiling water; add in the raspberries, stirring until well dissolved and mixed.
• Stir in the applesauce until well mixed.
• Pour into a 13 x 9-inch pan.
• Refrigerate until firm.
• Spread the sour cream/marshmallow mixture on top.
• Refrigerate any leftovers.
