Applesauce
List of Ingredients
2 lb cooking apples
Water
Lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar, optional
Ground cinnamon, optional
Recipe
Peel, core and cut apples into eighths. To prevent browning, drop pieces into 1 quart water combined with 1 Tbs lemon juice. Drain apples and place in 2-quart saucepan along with sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes or until apples are tender. Drain off excess liquid. Mash apples with fork or potato masher, press through food mill or process in blender or food processor, depending on consistency desired. Or, to cook with microwave, cut peeled and cored apples into 1-inch chunks. Place in 2-quart microwave-safe casserole. Add sugar and water. Cook on HIGH (100 percent power) 7 to 9 minutes or until tender, stirring once about halfway through cooking time. Drain off excess liquid and mash to desired consistency. Season applesauce with lemon juice, cinnamon or nutmeg to taste. Serve warm or chilled. Makes 6 servings.
