I haven't made applesauce for a very long time. I guess mostly because The Darlings didn't really eat it too well. I have learned through the years, the things that they will eat and and the things that they will not. So I have really tried to put my effort into things that will get used. So I tried a new recipe for applesauce, a chunky applesauce, in hopes that The Darlings will love it. And they did! This really is an amazingly yummy chunky applesauce. So 50 quarts later.....
A new use for applesauce! Carmel Apple Pie Sunday. A little ice cream, with a little applesauce, then a little carmel topping and sprinkled with pumpkin pie spice. Wow! was that ever good!!Amazing Chunky Applesauce
3-4 pounds of apples, peeled, cored and quartered
(I love Golden Delecious apples for this)
4 strips of lemon peel
juice of 1 lemon
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. white sugar
1 c. water
1/2 t. salt
Place all ingredients in a large (heavy) pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat, remove cinnamon sticks and lemon peels. Mash with a potato masher until desired consistency. Pour into clean jars, add lids and rings then process for 25 minutes in water bath.
