Try this delicious variation of applesauce
for breakfast or in your kids' school lunches, or even in
your own lunch at work. After you have made Raw Crabapple Juice, save the pulp, skins, cores and seeds,
and make crabapple pulp.
Crabapple Pulp:
Measure crabapple pulp, skins, cores and seeds
into a large blender. Add 1/3 cup water for every 2 cups
of pulp, skins, cores and seeds. Use a grain mill to separate
pulp from the seeds, skins, and cores. Blend in blender
until water is mixed with crabapple pulp. Place mixture
into a large preserving pot and boil for 3 to 5 minutes,
stirring often to prevent burning. If you are not planning
to make applesauce immediately, you can refrigerate the
pulp in a jar for 2 to 3 days or freeze it for several months.
Otherwise, pulp should be used immediately.
Applesauce:
12 cups crabapple pulp
2 1/2 cups sugar
Combine pulp and sugar in large stainless
steel saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Fill
sterilized pint or quart jars, seal and boil in a boiling
water bath, 15 minutes for pint jars, 10 minutes for quart
jars. Refrigerate or freeze. Serve cold.
- You can substitute naturally sweet pineapple juice
or carob powder for the
sugar in this recipe.
- For applesauce with punch, grind 3-4 slices ginger
root into the boiling
pulp and sugar.
