I used both my mother's and my mother-in-law's applesauce recipe, made some minor adjustments, and ended up with the most delicious dessert! I enjoy this applesauce particularly after dinner since it settles my stomach and satisfies my sweet tooth.
15 Large Cortland Apples
1 lb. Fresh Cranberries
1/3 cup Water
1 Cheesecloth or Wrap & Boil Bag
- Peel & cut each apple into 16 small chunks.
- Place water in a 12 quart pot and add the apple chunks.
- Wrap cranberries in the cheesecloth and knot the bag. Set aside.
- Cover pot and simmer on a very low flame (the lowest possible). Stir the apples every 1/2 hour.
- Add cranberries to the apples approximately 2 hours into cooking time. Cook for 1-2 more hours, until the apples have softened and dissolved considerably.
- Squeeze out the cranberries from the cheesecloth and dispose of bag.
- Blend the apples with an immersion blender.
- Enjoy : )

Hello Esther. Thank you for this blog. I look forward to seeing some interesting recipes, and other tidbits.
About the applesauce, I have made this alot. I use a Victorio strainer, which is faster than cheesecloth if you want to make large batches. Not too many people can their food anymore, but I have found this to be a way to have a lot, not take up freezer space, and also to be frugal, as you can purchase fruits when they are in season.

I know this blog is new, but if you can put an RSS feed on here (I don't have a blog, so I don't know how to do this), we can know when you've posted something knew. :-)
