Red Wine Applesauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan, and cook over medium heat until very tender, stirring often so that apples do not scorch, about 45 minutes. If necessary, add additional water to apple mixture, up to 1 cup, while apples cook.
• Remove the mixture from heat. Using a potato masher, mash into sauce, leaving some of the chunks. Let cool. If making ahead of time, chill, covered, until ready to use. Allow to warm to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
• Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Throw the apples, apple juice and lemon juice into a pan and bring it to the boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and simmer until the apples are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir through the sugar and mix until melted. Add the cinnamon and stir through.
• Puree the mixture in a food processor, blender or food mill. If not using right away, leave to cool and then refrigerate.

Steps:

• Combine apples, red wine, bay leaf and sugar (adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference and the tartness of the apples) in a large saucepan.
• Cover and cook over medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Mash the apples with the back of a spoon as they begin to soften.
• Remove the bay leaf.
• For thicker applesauce, boil uncovered and stir constantly until it has reduced slightly.
• Use a food mill, if you want a smoother sauce.
• Add butter and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.

Steps:

• Peel and core apples; cut into large wedges and combine in saucepan with all other ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer, covered, 15 minutes or until tender. Remove cover and simmer until most liquid is evaporated, about 5 more minutes. Mash with a potato masher, leaving some chunks. Transfer to a bowl and chill overnight.

Steps:

• Core the apples. Peel if desired.
• Peel mango and cut into bite sized pieces.
• Cut apples into bite sized pieces.
• Add apples and mango to a large pot or Dutch oven. Add just enough water to keep fruit from sticking.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft.
• Transfer cooked fruit to a blender, food processor, or food mill.
• Process to desired consistency.
• Return to Dutch oven. Taste pureed fruit.
• Add honey if desired. Stir to mix well.
• Ladle hot sauce into pint jars.
• Cover with two-piece lids and process in a water bath canner for 20 minutes.
• Remove from canner and let cool overnight.

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice apples.
• In a large pot, bring apples, lemon juice, 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:

• Peel and core apples, then cut into large chunks. Put chunks in a wide heavy saucepan and add sugar, lemon and cinnamon stick. Mix with wooden spoon. Add 1/2 cup water.
• Set pan over medium-high heat and bring to a brisk simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until apples are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove lemon and cinnamon stick, then mash apples with wooden spoon, leaving mixture fairly rough. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
