Quiet Reflection Sunday- Harvest Time

Apple Season!! My favorite time.

Every year we go to the apple farm 

for fresh apples, cider and donuts.

There has been a standing tradition

in my family that I make applesauce.

I make a huge pot and then freeze it 

for the winter months. There is

nothing like apple sauce warmed

when it is sub zero outside.

I use a variety of apples for the sauce.

Core them and cut them up in large

pieces. I used to peel them, but I don't

bother anymore. Put them in a large

pot with about a cup of water. I add

a half to a whole cup of brown sugar.

Plus a tablespoon of cinnamon. Mix 

it up, cover and put it on the stove 

on medium low. Check it often for

the consistence until it's ready to

mash. We like chunky applesauce.

Remove from heat and mash. I use an

old potato masher. Allow the apple-

sauce to cool and then put it in 

containers if you are going to freeze.

Allow enough space on the top for

expansion. Put the rest in the frig.
