Applesauce

Fresh Applesauce

makes 8 cups

Ingredients:

9 medium size apples, a few different varieties
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup lemon juice (or about 1 lemon)
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon all-spice

Directions:

Pour water and lemon juice into a heavy saucepan. Peel, core and cut apples into 1-inch pieces. Toss immediately into saucepan to prevent browning. Add sugar, salt and spices and put over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes, until apples get soft. Remove from heat and mash with potato masher. Pour into containers and store in fridge for up to 2 weeks.
