Strawberry Applesauce
Strawberry Applesauce is a delicious twist to traditional Applesauce and just as easy to me. Perfect for canning or for refrigeration storage!
Servings: 5 quarts
Ingredients
- 6 lbs apples
- 1 ½ lbs Strawberries leaves removed
- Juice from one Lemon
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
- Cut apples into eights and place into large pot, discarding stems
- Add strawberries, lemon juice, and water to ensure fruit does not burn on the bottom of the pot and bring to a simmer.
- Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Mash with a potato masher as apples soften and add additional water, if needed, to get desired consistency.
- Placing food mill over a large bowl, work in batches to scoop all sauce out of the pot and run through mill. This will remove apple skins and seeds.
- Place in sanitary quart jars and process in water bath for 25 minutes if canning, following all normal canning procedures, or place directly in refrigerator.
