This is our favorite way to make applesauce. It comes from the book, Baby Let's Eat for heatlthy cooking for both baby and family. The pears give it a bit of a crunch, even though we don't leave the chunks. We puree it smooth. And there's no sugar in this recipe. We usu. leave out the mace and it tastes fine. Ingredients:
3 mcintosh apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped |
3 ripe pears, peeled, cored and quartered |
1/2 cup water |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/4 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground mace |
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to a simmer.
3. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a chunky sauce, about 10 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat, cool, and refrigerate until needed.
5. You can also freeze in ice cube trays. Keep frozen cubes in a plastic bag so you can remove one portion at a time.
