Applesauce
Applesauce
Ingredients
- 2.5 - 3kg Apples (any sweet dessert variety)
- 250ml Apple Juice (pressed or filtered)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 100g Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Directions
1. | Peel and core the apples. Cut into wedges, then cut the wedges in half. Drop into water and lemon juice to prevent browning as you work through the batch |
2. | In a large pot, over a medium heat, add the brown sugar and apple juice and cook until the sugar has melted |
3. | Turn the heat up, and allow the mixture to caramelise a little |
4. | Once the mixture starts to thicken, add in the apples |
5. | Sprinkle with the cinnamon and the lemon juice, then stir until the apples are coated in the sugar mixture |
6. | Allow the mixture to cook over a medium heat for 25 minutes, or until the apples are completely soft and starting to break down |
7. | Place the hot apple sauce into sterilised warm jars as is for a chunky sauce, mash with a potato masher for a softer sauce, or puree in a blender for a completely smooth sauce |
Note
The apple sauce will keep in the fridge once opened for 2-3 weeks, or once cooled, you can freeze the unopened jars
