Savory Applesauce Recipes

Steps:

• Peel, core, and cut apples into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a large saucepan, combine apples with cinnamon, sugar, and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. (If sauce begins to stick to the bottom of the pan, add 2 to 4 tablespoons more water.)
• Remove from heat; discard cinnamon stick. Stir lemon juice and horseradish. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper.

Steps:

• Simmer all ingredients in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, covered, stirring occasionally, until apples fall apart and garlic is tender, about 15 minutes. Mash garlic into applesauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In large, heavy-bottomed stock pot, combine apples, sugar, lemon juice, ginger, cloves, and 1 cup water. Cover and set over high heat. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to moderate and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft, about 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat and blend with whisk, breaking up any remaining apple pieces. Pass through ricer, food mill, or fine-mesh strainer. While applesauce is still warm, stir in sprigs of savory. Let applesauce cool, then remove savory before serving.

Steps:

• In a large pot, simmer all ingredients except the salt and pepper, covered, stirring occasionally until the apples are falling apart and the garlic is tender (about 15-20 minutes).
• Mash the garlic pieces to mix with the applesauce.
• Season with salt and pepper.
