his is my grandmother's applesauce
recipe. I make it with the finest quality ingredients I can find and it always turns
out delicious. I leave the skins on the apples to preserve the fiber and phytonutrients.
INGREDIENTS:
4 large organic Fuji apples (about 2 pounds),
washed
2 organic Pink Lady apples (about 1 pound),
washed
1/2-3/4 cup water
1/3 cup Hain organic sugar
1/2 fresh lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 generous cup Cascadian Farms organic
frozen strawberries
DIRECTIONS:
Use an apple wedger to cut each apple into 8 wedges (with
skin on). A knife works well too. Place the apples in a medium-sized saucepan.
Add about 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook on high about 10 minutes, until the
juices are just about covering the apples. Stir occasionally and add more water
if it seems too dry.
At this liquidy stage, add the sugar, lemon juice, and
strawberries. Stir well, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook about 10-20 more
minutes, until the apples are really soft. Stir occasionally and add more water if it's
getting too dry. There should always be a little liquid on the bottom.
Remove from heat and transfer half of the fruit to a blender.
Chop or blend until smooth. Repeat with the rest of the apples. Taste the sauce;
adjust the lemon juice if needed. If it is too dry for your taste, stir in a little water
to thin it out. Refrigerate to cool.
