It's everyone's favorite season again - so hopefully you are enjoying cooler weather and the changing colors. To kick us off, Jill shares a recent activity and recipe.
Recipe for Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce
yields about 15 cups
Ingredients
8 qt. cooking pot (roughly 11-
12 lbs of apples)
2 c. water
½ c. lemon juice
2 Cinnamon sticks
Directions
Peel, Core, and dice apples. Add Apples water, lemon juice, cinnamon sticks.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally (make sure that you put a lid on the pot, as the applesauce will bubble up and pop).
Allow the applesauce to reduce down to desired consistency.
Remove Cinnamon sticks.
Place applesauce in containers to store (additional ground cinnamon can be added to taste when placed in containers).
Enjoy!
Jill, for the Sisterhood
Your applesauce looks yummy! When I used to make applesauce, I would leave the peels on. Then when the apples had cooked down, I would run them through a food mill. That way we not only got all the nutrients from the peels (the peels carry most of the apple nutrients) but also a lovely pink color as well. Happy canning (or freezing)!
