Sweet Applesauce Recipe

Applesauce is a perfect accompaniment for roast meats such as pork, or for goose or duck. You can also use this in pies and puddings, or as baby food!

Serves:                           4

Preparation Time:           15 minutes

Cook Time:                     5 minutes

Ingredients

o   425g/1lb fresh apples, peeled and sliced

o   2tsp fresh lemon juice

o   80g/3oz sugar (brown or white, whatever is your preference, but brown will discolour the sauce)

o   80ml/3fl.oz water

o   Sprinkle of salt

o   1tsp cinnamon or all spice

Method

Cook apples with sugar and water for 5 minutes until lightly softened. If they begin to dry out, add a little more water. When cooked, drain over a bowl and reserve the liquid.

Place ¾ of the apples into your blender with the lemon juice, salt and cinnamon. Blend to a smooth sauce.

Add remaining apples and gradually add the juices from the pan, a little at a time to gain the consistency you require. Try to leave some of the apples a little chunky for extra texture by using the pulse button.

Serve with roast pork or chops as an ideal accompaniment.
