Pink Applesauce

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 5 -10 lbs apples (colour will vary depending which variety you choose, lobo is my favourite)
• water

Recipe

• 1 wash apples thoroughly.
• 2 prepare a large bowl filled with cold water.
• 3 cut apples into cubes (keeping the skin but removing cores).
• 4 as you cut the apples, throw them in cold water so they don't brown too much.
• 5 when you've finished cutting, remove from water and place apples in a heavy-bottomed pot, add a tiny bit of water so that there is about 1cm covering the bottom.
• 6 cover and cook on low heat until apples are completely cooked.
• 7 stir once in a while.
• 8 working by the spoonful, press apples through a potato ricer or a strainer; discard skins between batches.
• 9 if desired (this shouldn't be necessary), cream sauce in blender or food processor.
• 10 cool before refrigerating.
• 11 ***this gives a very thick applesauce, to thin out, add more water during cooking.***.
