Peach Ginger Applesauce Recipes

GINGER-PEACH JAM

Steps:

• Bring peaches, ginger, and pectin to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and butter; cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Return to a boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute more. Remove from heat, and skim off any foam with a spoon.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the peach jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

GINGER PEACH VODKA SLUSH

Steps:

• Pour the ginger ale and vodka into a blender. Add peaches and ice. Cover and blend until mixture is smooth and no chunks remain. If mixture is too thick or difficult to blend, add an additional 1/4 cup of ginger ale.
• Pour into highball glasses and serve immediately.

HOMEMADE PEACH APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• If have a food mill or want to keep the skins on just core/pit the peaches and apples. Otherwise peel them first before removing the core/pit.
• Quarter the peaches and apples and add to the Instant Pot
• Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pot about 1/3 to 1/2 of cup.
• Set to high pressure for 5 minutes. Seal the pot.
• Allow the pot to naturally release before opening.
• If using a food mill, run through the food mill now, over top a bowl.
• Once cooled enough to taste, check for sweetness. Add honey or sugar if desired.
• If sauce is too thin, put back in the Instant Pot and hit the saute bottom. Don't walk awake. Stir the sauce regularly until the desired consistency.

GINGER APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• In a 4-qt. slow cooker, combine all ingredients. Cook, covered, on low until apples are tender, 4-5 hours. Mash if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

EASIEST PEACH-APPLESAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add apples and peaches to a large stockpot. I like to add half and half apples to peaches ratio to the pot or 1/3 peaches to 2/3 apples. It's up to your preference!
• Let simmer and soften about 30 minutes. Stir the pot frequently to keep the mixture from burning.
• Process apples and peaches through a food mill or large food strainer to remove skins and apple seeds.
• Add the sauce back into the large stockpot.
• Ladle into quart jars and process in a water bath canner for 20 minutes. Let cool overnight and transfer to storage. Don't forget to label your jars!

PEAR-GINGER APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice apples.
• In a large pot, bring apples, lemon juice, pears, ginger, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until apples are very soft and falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Mash with a potato masher or pulse in a food processor until smooth with small chunks remaining. (Add sugar, if using.)
• Let cool, then transfer applesauce to airtight containers.

PEACH APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• I start out peeling/cutting apples using my apple peeler/slicer/corer device. As I take them off the device, I put them in a bowl, sprinkle lemon juice and fruit fresh. I keep doing this until I have enough to start my batch of applesauce.
• Next I put 2 cans of peaches with their juices, some of the apples and blend in a blender at one of the higher speeds.
• You may not need sugar. I omitted it the last time I made the applesauce.
• Play it by ear also if you think you need water.
• Pour into crockpot or dutch oven.
• Note: I do several different batches, so I'm cooking one batch on the stove in my dutch oven on medium high heat/medium and one in the crock pot. I cook it long enough to be hot enough to pour into canning jars.
• Repeat blending process with what's left of your apples and peaches.
• Pour into crock pot or dutch oven.
• Add vanilla extract, ground ginger.
• Add optional cinnamon. I used my Korintje cinnamon. You'll have to taste it and see if you want to add cinnamon.
• If adding sugar, now's the time to add.
• Meanwhile wash canning jars, lids, and bands.
• Sterilize in hot water bath.
• Then take out a few jars at a time, pour applesauce in jars. Put lids and bands on, screw tight, place in water bath for 25 minutes.
• Take out, make sure lids have sealed by pressing lid. I listen for popping sounds and count. If I come across a jar or two that didn't seal, I'll rebath them or even put in a clean jar with new lid. Read your canning instructions that come with jars.

RED CURRANT AND PEACH APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Bring the apples, peaches, and tea to a light boil in a large wok-style pan. Reduce heat to medium-high heat; cook and stir until fruit is soft, about 30 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from the pan. Let fruit mixture cool slightly.
• Stir marjoram, ground ginger, ground allspice into the fruit mixture. Fold currants into the mixture.

PEACH APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the fruit and water in a large stock pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium and stir occasionally while the sauce simmers, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
• Mash until desired consistency is reached, then serve, freeze, or can.

PEACH GINGER APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• STOVE TOP: Add apple slices, peaches, cider (or apple juice concentrate), lemon juice, ginger, and almond extract to large pan. Bring liquid in bottom of pan to a boil over medium high heat, lower heat to medium, cover and cook for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until apples and skin are soft. SLOW COOKER: Add ingredients, cover, and cook 3 hours on high or 5 hours on low, until apples and skin are soft. (Note: Slow cookers can vary; cooking times are approximate.) BLEND IT: Use an immersion blender (or blender or food processor) to blend the cooked apples into a sauce consistency with whatever texture you prefer--smooth or chunky. (The skin should blend in easily; if not, return to stove or slow cooker and continue cooking until softened enough to blend.) STORE IT: Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 year. Use water process canning to store it at room temperature for up to 1 year.
