Equipment
- Food mill
Ingredients
- 6 pounds apples
- 1 ½ pounds Strawberries Leaves removed
- 1 Lemon Juiced
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
- Cut apples into eighths and place the slices into a 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 over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally as it simmers 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.
Notes
If you do not have a food mill you can use a food processor or blender instead.
You can sweeten this basic recipe with added sugar, but I don't find it necessary.
