Apple Sauce!



Last weekend my Brother and I made Applesauce. I had made it one other time, but it was his first time.
First you have to wash and quarter the apples. No need to seed or peel them.
Then put them in a stockpot and just barely cover with water.
Add about 5 red hot candies to the pot if you wish.
Cook that until the apples are really soft when poked with a fork. It takes maybe 10 minutes.


After the apples are cooked put them through the food colander and mash them all through. The seeds and peelings will not got through. You can just throw them, or save them to feed the deer like my brother did. :)

After you have put all the apples through the colander add some sugar. We like a sweeter sauce so we added about 1 3/4 cups of sugar and then we added 2-3 Tbl of cinnamon.
Then just put the sauce into hot jars and process for 40 minutes. Its that easy.
