Farm to School Local Foods Recipes

Old School Applesauce

9/26/2018

0 Comments

 
This recipe was tested and approved by Washburn Middle School 7th and 8th grade students in 2017.  We used local Bayfield apples - McIntosh and Cortland.

(Recipe source: University of Illinois Extension, slightly edited by Greta Kochevar)

Applesauce will vary in texture and flavor depending on the variety of apple used.
 
8 large apples, peeled (optional), cored and cut into thick slices
1/2 cup water or apple cider
2 lemon slices
1/2 cup sugar, maple syrup, or honey (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
 
  1. Combine apples, water and lemon slices in a large saucepan.
  2. Simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes or until apples are part sauce and with some chunks of apple left.
  3. Watch closely and stir often to prevent burning. Applesauce should be thick; add more water if necessary.
  4. Leave sauce chunky or put apples and lemons through a food mill or coarse sieve.
  5. Stir in sugar to desired sweetness.
  6. Add cinnamon and nutmeg.
  7. Serve warm or chilled. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to one week.
 
Yield 5 to 6 cups.
 
To Freeze: Increase spices to twice the indicated amount, as they lose flavor during freezing. Refrigerate until chilled. Pack cool applesauce into rigid freezer containers to within 1/2-inch from the top and seal. Use a container size suitable for your family's needs. To use: thaw in the refrigerator overnight or in cold water for 3 hours. Can be frozen for up to one year at 0°F.
To Can: Pack hot applesauce into clean standard canning jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Seal with 2 piece canning lid and screw band. Process jars for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. Remove jars, cool, check seals, label and date. Store sealed jars away from sunlight in a cool, dry place for up to one year.
