Recipes

Apple Sauce
Fill an 8 qt. kettle with McIntosh or Cortland apples. Core the apples and cut into sixths. You do not need to peel the apples.
Add about ½ cup of water to the kettle. Cook over medium heat until soft, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Blend apples or put them through a food mill or strainer. This produces a beautiful pink, naturally sweet apple sauce. Makes 1 gallon, which can be frozen.
For zest you can add a few Red Hot candies. If you are using an early season apple like Lodi or Vista Belle, you might want to add a little sugar.
