Bird Haven Farm Applesauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine apples, cider, lemon juice, spices, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are very tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover; simmer until almost all liquid has evaporated, 10 minutes.
• Season apple mixture with lemon zest. Mash with a potato masher until chunky (or puree in a blender or food processor for a smoother texture). Let cool completely. Serve, sprinkled with more cinnamon, or store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week, or in freezer up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice apples.
• In a large pot, bring apples, lemon juice, pears, ginger, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until apples are very soft and falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Mash with a potato masher or pulse in a food processor until smooth with small chunks remaining. (Add sugar, if using.)
• Let cool, then transfer applesauce to airtight containers.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a wide, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon and adding more cider as needed to prevent scorching, until apples have broken down, 50 to 60 minutes. Mash any large pieces with the spoon. Add more sugar and spices, as desired.
• Remove from heat; discard cinnamon and vanilla pod. Serve warm or at room temperature with rosti potatoes.

Steps:

• Bring apples and cider to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover pan; reduce heat. Simmer until apples are very soft, about 12 minutes. Remove lid; stir in sugar and salt.
• Cook over medium-low heat until apples are broken up and most of the liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly. Blend in a food processor until smooth. Add more sugar if desired.
