Applesauce Recipe
- 14 (give or take) medium/large apples washed, peeled, and cored.
- 1/2 water or apple cider
- 1/2 cup sugar ~ white, brown, organic *optional*
- 1-2 tsp ground cinnamon
Place your apples in a cooking pot and add the cider or water. Cook over medium heat till apples are soft and cooked through.
Mash with a hand held potato masher.
Add cinnamon and sugar if using.
If you like smooth applesauce this is when you would put it in a blender or food processor. If, like me, you want it chunky just use the potato masher.
Using a funnel, ladle the hot applesauce into the jars leaving at least 1/2 an inch head space (so your jars don’t explode in the canner). Run a knife around the inside of the jar to force bubbles out, wipe the rim of the jar with a clean damp cloth to remove any food residue, and top with a lid that has been immersed in hot water and a ring. But don’t tighten the ring too tight.
Place in the canner and when the water returns to a boil process for 15 minutes if your using pint jars and 20 minutes for quart jars.
Remove and place the jars on a rack to cool.
Enjoy!
